Separate schools for Black males? I'm not totally convinced that this is a good idea

IMO, if these schools ARE established, the major concern should be the same as that for all schooling:

What is the curriculum? Does it differ from the curriculum in other schools, and if so how?..are the teaching methods different-and if so how and why?

What is the classroom size? What textbooks will the school use and who decides this?

How qualified and experienced are the teachers, aids, and administration? What special services are available in the school? What does the school's facility look like? What funding does the school have for supplemental field trips, presenters ect?

Is the school set up with research or to impart knowledge?

And what opportunities-besides athletics-will the students of the school have to interact with persons who are not Black [not to mention the thorny question about the definition of who is and isnot Black]..

I am concerned that good ideas often don't lead to good places..
And I would not want these Black males to be further marginalized..

And even if these public schools ARE wonderful for those students who attend, I have to wonder if funding & support services are being taken from a larger pool of Black and non-Black students in order for a small number of students to improve their test scores..

As I said, I'm not totally convinced that this is a good idea..

But I'm open to being convinced.
