A bunch of bums guiding each other along the road of life.

Hey, sorry for the absentia. Greg, I don't have much to add to your post. I've had "AA" students of all varieties, from the "keepin' it real" to the "driven to succeed". I don't doubt at all that the things you're seeing are pretty systemic, and it certainly is upsetting.

Incidentally, as for my population being "about as cherry-picked white as can get", of the three schools I've taught at, I'd say my current school is the most (racially) diverse. Granted, that's not saying much, but... it's something.

Oh--Ok. Sorry if I offend. Hope none was taken.

Remind me to tell you about (what I suspect) is my all-white pool club that we're now members of. It's really freakin' me out. Don't really know what exactly to do--other than to perhaps withdraw or try and sell my membership. Thinking of giving it a season to see if there's any "diversity"...
