Separate school for Blacks

Recently Toronto schools system approved establishment of black focused school. This decision was made due to high failure/ drop out rate among black students. according to people who are in favour of such decision, white teachers couldn't understand black kids and jut give up on them.

However to many this is nothing but segregation .

What do you think , are such separate schools based on race , culture , religion or language better and help full or they are nothing but to segregate people and develop intolerance among different groups of society

Is it something actually going to be implemented? Or just a speech because February is Black History Month?

Now if it is for real then Blacks are going to relive segregation. As it is they have tons of problems and now this will add to their woes.

But there is a possibility that many might like the idea too. Aren't there takers for All boys, All girls, Catholic, Islamic etc. schools? So we never know.

i think they should have equal number of whites and blacks in every class segregated.. then the teachers can play some chess....when they get bored....

That's way too irreverent, but funny nevertheless 😆😆

@ post - I don't understand this whole concept of teachers not understanding students because they are a different colour/race. If that's the norm, then here in the Gulf, most educational establishments would be teacher-less!
