Season 2 Ep 11: Expecting the Best: Academic Resilience in Black Families

In this episode, we are celebrating Black History Month. In Poppin’ Culture we talk about misapplying science as demonstrated by the Documentary “The Vow". Next, in the Academic Deep Dive segment we discuss the article, “Expect the Best; Not the Worst: The Impact of Parental Expectation on Black Males’ Math Scores” by Dr. Lawrence Jackson and colleagues. Finally, for Good or Bad Advice we go over an article by Dr. White about how to talk to our children about racism.
