| Description | A new study suggests that black students with exotic names don't do as well in school as black students with more common names.
The University of Florida study found that students with names such as Da'Quan or Damarcus are more likely to score lower on reading and math tests.
Researchers said that black students with unusual names are also less likely to meet teacher expectations and be referred to gifted programs than black students with more common names, such as Dwayne. |
