We definitely need more Black male teachers. Especially in the early years as the article pointed out. But we also need our own schools as well. This will allow us to mold our youth with the morals and values of the past, in order to prepare them for the future.

From daycare to at least elementary, but up to high school. This can be paid for with the money we’re already spending. So can their education to be teachers. For more information, go to 3ufirst.com

Black Unity is the solution, http:www.3ufirst.com is the plan.

Cars,money,clothes,attractive women or men, anything that stimulates us in some sort of way. The profession of teaching is not marketed to us a black people (I prefer black, I was born in 1967 when we went from Negro to Black)as sexy! What could be more sexy than having the ability to mold a young mind and change a path in someone’s life for good? Here in New York State the health benefits for teachers are very good, as you gain seniority on the job the money is better, the retirement is nice and to boot…SUMMERS OFF with the option to work summer school for the extra loot at 4 hours a day! I have been at my current job for 24 years and God willing when I get to 30 years I will be a healthy 53 years old looking for another profession and I have already made up my mind to become a teacher here in Buffalo.So within the next few years, I plan to finish my Master’s and be SOMEBODY’S teacher in SOMEBODY’S school here! We’ve gotta make it attractive for our young males by first making EDUCATION attractive to them! How? I don’t know but as a youth advocate, I brainstorm daily to save young black lives in my community and through prayer and wisdom. Much love and God bless, Micheal V. Hicks Jr. Buffalo, N.Y.
