I will make this real simple for you to understand.  I you are white, black, 
brown,
green, or whatever, if you want your children to have a good chance at 
getting
educated, put their education on the top of your list of priorities.  Spend 
the time it
takes to try and convince your children about the importance of an 
education.  Give them
all the help and ecouragement you can.  Spend time with the school and 
pester the heck out
of the establishment, if you think they are not doing right for your 
children.  Chances are, if you
took those simple steps, your children will be educated.
