Nikita Bush's career as a public school teacher came to an end when she faced the decision of how to educate her own children. Having been told for years that American public schools would eventually get better for black children, the number of African-American homeschooling parents like Ms. Bush has doubled in little over a decade.
As Patrick Jonsson of the Christian Science monitor reports, studies show all kinds of public school problems disproportionately affect black children, and many parents have decided to take matters into their own hands. Even single parents are forming co-ops to make it possible to educate their children together outside of the public school system.
What do you do when you feel the system is failing your child and their education?

I take it you've never heard about Chinese kids going to school after school to study the Chinese language? They often don't, but they often do, usually over their objections. I don't THINK these are all first generation kids, either, though admittedly the one I know of is. But there are enough of them to keep, and have kept, the school going for at least decades. Now this doesn't take too much, since IIUC it's run in a church basement, but it takes more than a few.
