Episode notes

The theory goes by equipping students with the skills necessary to do that mending, we're actually developing a different kind of skill set. And so if you talk about how race factors into discipline in particular, how do we know race is a factor? So on the one hand, we know that these disparities exist and that black students are far more likely to experience any dimension of exclusionary discipline relative to their white counterparts rightInitially that suggests that race plays some factor right now how race plays the factors is the next question but we know that race is a part of this story,.

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.
