Jamal Abu, a black student at Dallas Chinese School, started taking algebra
classes there after his mother determined he needed extra help. Jamal, a
freshman at John Horn High School in Mesquite, said he's performing better
as a result of his weekend classes.

And it doesn't feel weird to be a non-Asian at Dallas Chinese School, he
said.
"There's no stereotype, as long as you just don't be making fun of Chinese
people, because Chinese people are kinda cool," said Jamal, 14. "I like
their language a lot."
Jamal's mother, Sherri Abu, found the school as she was driving in
Richardson. She called the school "a blessing" for Jamal and two of his
sisters.
"They were all struggling in math, and now they're much better," Mrs. Abu
said. "Thank God for their [Chinese school] teacher."
