Until recently, home schooling in the US was mostly practised by white families, but a growing number in the black community are now also turning their back on the public school system and educating their children at home. Why?
Maybe because blacks are getting the worst public schooling.
"There were lots of fights and people getting shot," says Sonya Barbee.
It's hard to focus on the lesson when you could be assaulted or shot at any time. Black students fought to get into public schools only to find that once they got there they had been lied to.
According to a 2008 study by the Schott Foundation: "Over the last 25 years, the social, educational and economic outcomes for black males have been more systematically devastating than the outcomes for any other racial or ethnic group or gender."
Is this any surprise when schools are run for the benefit of Big Education?
