I am curious as to why Blacks do worse in school than their peers?
<|assistant|>
There are many potential causes for Blacks performing poorly in school, including historical and systemic racism, inadequate access to quality schools and educational resources, poverty, family disruption, lack of educational support systems, and low expectations due to stereotypes. Racial bias is also pervasive in the education system, resulting in unequal application of discipline and inconsistent enforcement of academic standards. All of these factors lead to lower educational attainment among Black people when compared to their white peers.
