African-American students are unengaged in the attitudes and behaviors that lead to school success because to them accepting the school curriculum, language, and pedagogy would mean rejecting their collective identity. However, they are not opposed to earning good grades although it meant being accused of acting "white" by their peers. Many students also question their intelligence, having internalized the beliefs of others', and often acted as if they are less intelligent than their white peers.
When is enough ENOUGH?
