Episode notes

In many school districts they operate as you just mentioned a certain subset of students are tested for services right give them talented services. That's where the rubber meets the road in terms of how I went about studying this phenomenon and the broader structural factors and policies that could be a link between sort of collective and racial bias and student outcomes.

This Juneteenth, we’re sharing an episode of The Weeds, a Vox Media podcast where host Jonquilyn Hill breaks down the policies that shape our lives.

This episode digs into school discipline and the achievement gap with Francis Pearman of Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education. For many Black children, their first encounter with the discrimination that will trail them their whole lives comes from the school system — a system where they are five times more likely to attend a segregated school than their white counterparts.

Kara & Nayeema will be back Thursday with a fresh episode of ON.
