If you missed this PBS special when it aired, you totally need to check out School Counselor Blog's post about Too Important to Fail, a PBS special discussing how schools are failing African American youth, particularly boys. I haven't had time to watch the entire video yet, but I watched about 10 minutes and it was wonderful (not the issue, but the content). If you work in an urban district, it's a must watch.

There is also a "Too Important to Fail" ebook that you can buy on Amazon (http://amzn.to/nKS6WC). I just started reading it and it is a must have!
