The School-to-Prison Pipeline: Can We Create More Equitable Pathways for Black Students?

For the purpose of this book, the author explores how the humanity of young Black men and boys is stripped away in schools. Moreover, the author seeks to investigate the effects of dehumanization on young Black males in spaces of learning. As a result of this exploration, the author argues that Black educators must teach Black pupils to resist the forces designed to neutralize Black children. White teachers arrogantly bragging to a classroom of Black students about whites' so-called superiority only perpetuates the lie of Black inferiority among young pupils. The news article Black student describes anger he felt when his White teacher told class his race is 'the superior one,' reported a teacher in Pflugerville, Texas, who was caught on recording engaging with Black students in a way that exceeded the boundaries of suitable decorum (to say the very least). In one video posted online, the teacher can be seen saying to his multi-racial class, Deep down in my heart, I'm ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one, as students audibly react both on- and off-camera

Unfair consequences push Black students from classrooms to prison. This book exposes the system and offers solutions for a future where opportunity, not incarceration, awaits them.

Professor Sanobar, for your Child Development course, I propose "ADHD Diagnosis: Beyond Averages." This book challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to ADHD diagnosis. We'll explore how ADHD can manifest in subtle ways, impacting focus, motivation, and emotional regulation, often leading to missed diagnoses, particularly in those whose symptoms fall outside the typical range. The book unpacks the concept of masking, where individuals unconsciously hide their symptoms. "ADHD Diagnosis" goes beyond identifying missed cases. We'll delve into the various subtypes of ADHD, how it presents differently in adults and adolescents, and the potential for co-occurring conditions. By understanding this spectrum of ADHD presentations, the book equips us to utilize a wider range of assessment tools and tailor treatment plans to individual needs. "ADHD Diagnosis: Beyond Averages" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a more nuanced understanding of ADHD diagnosis, ensuring all individuals receive effective support.
