My husband & I have moved to the suburbs - for the supposedly superior schools. We live in a predominately white neighborhood. My son is 1 of 3 (half) African American children in a school of about 125 kids. He has recently begun not wanting to go to school. About 3 weeks ago he told me that a little girl in his class told him that he had ugly skin. & today while on a play date with a child & parents I would NEVER accuse of promoting racism, the child proceeded to tell us all at the dinner table that we all had nice light skin while my son was the only one at the table with yucky dark skin, “light is much better” is what she said. Her parents were appalled. How should I handle this? I plan on talking w/ the director but I would like to offer some suggestions on how they can help promote cultural sensitivity and understanding. Does anyone know of any books, programs or other teaching aids that could be helpful for preschoolers? Thank you all in advance.

for example, I say "I met Kobe Bryant", and say I'm kidding afterwards. Isn't that the same as lying?

Hi, well I'm only 13 but I need to think up ideas to save up for college!

I know i supposedly "too young" but I need ot save now. Cause my dad spends all his cash on the lotery, beer and cigarettes! Any money that I do save up i have to hand over ot my father for the bills!

I have no choice cause he get's abusive towards my mother if I don't.

I plan on going ot Harvard med which probably is't going ot happen if the finaces are going to keep going the way they are. I would need about 150,000 for just until I get the Med degree or whatever.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do! We're dirt poor even though it may not look like it. But we are. And I need some help in any programs or stuff that can help.

I'm NOT saying I have to go to Harvard but I really want to and most other colleges are around that range.

I want to be a plastic surgeon to help burn vitims and stuff...for a really cheap price! i just don't know how I'm gonna get there!
