[Marcus-P22208]

I would suspect that your friend is referring to black children from an urban environment who are recieving little or no positive stimulation at home or in school. While she may be commited to educating these young black children, she may be woefully unaware of the conditions in which they live and have been brought up in. It is my experience with children from inner-city (or urban) settings that they are often left to fend for themselves in an environment of scarcity. This may lend to the ‘aggressiveness’ your friend speaks of. As far as them not sitting still, it may be that she is ineffective with her classroom management rules and procedures. I would reccomend that she (and you) read a very great book by Harry K. Wong called, How to be an Effective Teacher: The First Days of School. His video series are also very informative and encouraging. Any child can learn to appreciate a calm, secure environment.
