The author, who is a teacher, writes about his experiences teaching these students and the challenges he faced in mentoring and guiding them to do their best. The author outlines fourteen factors that he believes influences the efforts many black males exhibit in school. He then offers ways to ameliorate these efforts and get them to begin valuing education. Although the author writes about students in general, he focuses heavily on black males because he believes a crisis is brewing.
