I am curious as to why Blacks do worse in school than their peers?
<|assistant|>
Black children have historically faced greater barriers to accessing quality educational resources compared to their peers, including lower quality public education in their own neighborhoods, segregation in school systems, inadequate funding and resources, and higher suspension rates. In addition, poverty, limited English proficiency, and the impact of trauma can also have an effect on school performance among Black students.
