We often hear things like, “Black boys are a dying breed,” “There are more Black men in prison than college,” “Black children fail because single mothers raise them,” and “Black students don’t read.” In No BS , Ivory A. Toldson uses data analysis, anecdotes, and powerful commentary to dispel common myths and challenge conventional beliefs about educating Black children. With provocative, engaging, and at times humorous prose, Toldson teaches educators, parents, advocates, and students how to avoid BS, raise expectations, and create an educational agenda for Black children that is based on good data, thoughtful analysis, and compassion. No BS helps people understand why Black people need people who believe in Black people enough not to believe every bad thing they hear about Black people.Personal/Public Scholarship4.African AmericansEducationStatisticsDiscrimination in educationUnited StatesElectronic books.African AmericansEducationDiscrimination in education370.8996073Toldson Achebe1973-988724MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910478940303321No BS (bad stats)2260774UNINA02193nas 2200409 n 450 99000907780040332120240229084545.00044-3719000907780FED01000907780(Aleph)000907780FED01000907780CNRP 0000906720161109b19621985km-y0itaa50------bagerDEauu--------Zeitschrift für Wahrscheinlichkeits-Theorie und verwandte Gebiete1962-1985BerlinSpringer0010009027212001Probability theory and related fieldsZeitschrift für Wahrscheinlichkeits-Theorie und verwandte Gebiete519519.21ITACNP20090723http://acnp.cib.unibo.it/cgi-ser/start/it/cnr/dc-p1.tcl?catno=4283&person=false&language=ITALIANO&libr=&libr_th=unina1Biblioteche che possiedono il periodicoSE990009077800403321Biblioteca "Carlo Miranda" del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni "Renato Caccioppoli" Università Federico II1962-1976;PER.
