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. 410 0$aPersonal/Public Scholarship$v4. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xEducation$vStatistics 606 $aDiscrimination in education$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xEducation 615 0$aDiscrimination in education 676 $a370.8996073 700 $aToldson$b Achebe$f1973-$01679715 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826006203321 996 $aNo BS (bad stats)$94048161 997 $aUNINA
