Futurity.org has an interesting article highlighting the disparity between minority and white teens in terms of therapy for depression:
Futurity.org – Therapy gap for depressed minority teens.
This raises an interesting question: how does this disparity affect urban schools and education? I’ll not make any claims for the validity of eHow.com, but this article compiles the results of a number of studies on the subject of depression and education, with resource links, if you’re so inclined.
Either way, this is just another factor to consider when discussing education and teacher tenure, as is all the rage.
