Classic must read for all Parents,
By Riktiktik (Lewisdale, Md) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Be Popular or Smart: The Black Peer Group (Paperback)
Every parent and their children read and discuss this outstanding book. Kunjufu is a pioneer in education. I remember reading his works in 1989, and as a teacher 2008 hearing new strategies and thinking "this ain't new". He has understood the key too teaching "today's" children for decades.
