A conversation on how parents and communities can build communal public schools.

There is increasing evidence that students have better academic performance when they are taught by teachers of the same race. However, in the United States where most public school students are not white, they are taught, most often, by teachers who identify as white — a dynamic that can contribute to racial disparities in educational achievement.
