    1. elementary school kids rerouted themselves to deliver hugs, high fives and huge grins.

      No matter what color the principal was the students didn't say no to the hugs because to them the color doesn't matter everyone is equal

    2. 48 percent black, 35 percent Hispanic, 9 percent white and 6 percent Asian, Courtenay is one of the most diverse schools in Chicago, a city known for its stark racial segregation

      I love when the school is mixed with different nationalities because the students learn more about the other student's that's why i like going to schools with a mix of people.

    3. 1,083 principals have successfully completed the program, 64 percent of whom are people of color — more than triple the national average.

      I like when the people of color shows and represent that they could do the same things and more as the other nationalities that no matter what their going through they are strong.

    4. the black community pushed hard and successfully to be better represented in the teaching force

      They are as strong as the Hispanic people they would do everything to be successful and change

    1. to help students regulate their emotions—has contributed to a 43 percent drop in the number of children referred for discipline

      Not all students like to corroborate with teachers about their feeling or problems but i really like how the percentage is dropping and many children are contributing.

    2. found that students’ chances of dropping out doubled with their first suspension. Today, most of the nation’s largest school districts are actively trying to reduce out-of-school suspensions, while more than 25 states have passed legislation to accomplish the same goal.

      Theirs many students and people I've known that when they got their first suspension they just automatically stopped coming to school because they said that if they kept getting in trouble and they kept getting suspension then what was the point of going to school? if they weren't going to be in a school they were going to be at home

    3. Black students are roughly four times as likely to be suspended as white students,

      Theirs times that they get insulted by the other people and they fight them so they could learn and not talk bad about them. In my opinion if i was the Africans i think i would first talk a teacher and if they don't do nothing about it and the other people keep talking bad things now their would be a confrontation with each other.

    4. minor infractions such as shoving other students or cursing

      I think by cursing at another student and giving them suspension just for what they said in my opinion i think this is overreacting
