I used to teach at an afrocentric school. The children are more enguaging when the student can identify with the teacher. Some of my students still call me to this very day. Most of my students have gone on to college and to other countries to improve humanity as a whole. There is a noticeable difference. Not enough spacehere to list them all! KNOW THYSELF! Rock on sis!

@universalmoor That's so interesting. Do you currently teach?

every other culture based school (italian, chinese, peruvian etc) are privately funded. its not fair to only fund ONE race, and exclude the rest. these schools should be private. if you want to go to them, you pay for it

@added23 Now i'm not saying you're right or wrong, I'm simply stating facts here in the state. When I was in school, they barely talked about black history and it was always a selected few black people in history we studied. I went to school in the south and my school purposely failed to teach us about certain black leaders such as Malcolm X. It was very biased.

I am my childrens Teacher my husband is there Principle, and Since we are a Hebrew Israelite African Centered Family then so is our school. Forget these Public Charters. You need to be homeschooling or the "So Called" Afrocentric schools need to come up from under the yolk of the Public Charter and become a REAL Private School.

There are thousands of cultures within Africa that are distinct. The term Afrocentrism usually lumps all those cultures together or hyper-emphasizes Khemet. I believe that by homeschooling, I can give my kids a realistic picture of themselves and their history but in context with the rest of history, acknowledging that no one culture ever existed in a vacuum.

Every school system in the world is relative to that country. In relative terms of the contribution of non-whites is almost non-existent in these countries such as Canada. The little that you were taught is really all there is. I don't see why people believe all public schools should teach world history.

Coptics are the last of the Egyptians, how did they decipher the Rosetta Stone from Ancient Egypt? from the legacy of the language being Coptic..

The last stone in how to read and write Ancient Egyptian, so how can the Coptic language decipher the Egyptian language? because it is the Ancient Egyptian Language

Africa is a continent.. with a LOT of cultures, languages, no different to Asia's large continent of cultures and the Americas.The skulls are also very different compared to other Africans

@YaNVme very true

[universalmoor]

@YaNVme No, not anymore. I do miss it! In the school that is! However I am still a teacher of the many things I've learned in life!

@added23 I see where you are coming from and I agree. If public schools were more diverse, then there would be no need for Afrocentric schools. I think the public school system in in America as a whole is failing when it comes to diversity and even academics. Of course there are some schools who do not fit this category, but unfortunately that is not the case for the post part.
