David Banks said a lot of important and interesting things last week at the Wheelock Atlas seminars, but certain things struck me as particularly insightful.
Here's one:

"Looking at a young black male who is good in math/arithmatic, we need to see a Future Scientist not a nice little kid who we hope will get through school, get a decent job, and stay out of trouble."

That's another form of high expectations and has to do with how we look at our kids.
