There is understandable fear in the land among many African American and Latino families about a Donald Trump presidency.
It’s not just incidents of racism and hate; it’s what his policies will mean for their well-being and for their children. So it’s a good time for a new study out this month that shows how much ground black and Latino children have to make up in California.

So in that bastion of liberal control San Francisco the all things liberal schools are failing the minority students. Wish the student's parents would take a look at this and decide it's time to get off of the plantation.
I think SacBee can just STFU. Stop thinking like a damned hive and use your frigging brains once and a while. Value education, don’t condemn it and whine for more and more money.
Of course.
“Understandable fear”. LOL...Whatta joke
It’s not up to Trump to do anything. It’s 100% up to these kids and their parent(s)
The Sac Bee should go out of business. #FakeNews
Well, duh. It's because they are inundated with fake news about him courtesy of left-wing hack news outlets like the SacocrapBee.
Saw this the first time around and the most salient comment was it was not his job. It is the job of parents and insomuch to translate directly to the classroom by the teachers. Seems that the vast majority of “parents” were fr to willing to hand that off to the teachers while the teachers were handing it off to the government.
This is th nly place that trump can have an effect, by DeVos being independently wealthy, she doesn’t have any ulterior motives but to shut down the government crutch.
It is not up to Trump to clean up these pits of liberalism and self-declared victimization that fuel the ignorance and failure in the minority camps. These people have to stand on their own two feet and get with the program of educating their own children. Declare it NOT-ACCEPTABLE to stand by and watch their children do as they please, or as some gang leader says they should do.
Stand up, be counted, be responsible and think and behave like those who are successful. Be a real American...not a “uselful idiot” for the leftist Democrats that breed voters.
Wait a minute. Why do blacks and Latinos have ground to make up for?
Decidedly anti-Trumpish Liberal bureaucRATS and politicians have been running this state for at least the last 20 years.
I don't know if there's a single Republican holding a state-wide office here.
Answer to the EXCREMENTO BEE.
Yes Trump and most other Conservatives can help improve education, the economy and foreign relations if you can just STFU and give them a chance.
No.
I have to wonder what the reading proficiency statistics are for Asian third graders. They’re a minority (about 33% in SF) but probably achieve at an significantly higher level than even the “white” students due to the value their culture places on education.
If you're looking for solutions to California's failing schools, you should start by cleaning out the worthless libs who have ruled that asylum for the last decades. The rot started there, and unless it's eliminated there, nothing Washington can do will stop it.
Poor education has little to do with how much money is thrown at the problem.
With out a doubt, the root of the problem is the destruction of the family. Solve this problem and you solve the education problem and many other social issues.
“Why do blacks and Latinos have ground to make up for?”
Because before MoonBeams father Edmund Brown was Govenor California, California was Number 1 in Education in the country. (all levels of Ed)
Years of Democrats running the State since have ruined everything from education to infrastructure.
Unless you went to private school in Calif the last 40 years Yes you have “ground to make up”
California schools have been in total control of liberals for the last 40 years. They have instituted teacher’s unions, tenure, affirmative action, sex education, bilingual education, multicultural education, transgenderism, same sex bathroom, Common Core, whole language, interactive math, school lunch, school breakfast, busing for integration, walk outs to protest elections and somehow the black and Latino students not learning is Trump’s fault.
Kind of sick of having to read over a Sacramento Bee headline every frickin day.
I guess the California Lottery hasn't solved all the education problems the way it was prophesied to, has it?
I appreciate the EXCREMENTO Bee posts. I will never give them one dime for their Socialist Diatribe off the news stand so reading here on FR is the best place.
FR based out of Fresno, Calif boasting they want to succeed, the Sac Bee being based out of our capital.... I think it’s relevant to post their dumb A$$ articles.
Yes the only thing worse than reading their headlines is reading their articles as KyCats may agree.....?
But it’s good to see what they’re saying on a site where the Sac Bee can be shredded
I have had several conversations with teachers in racially mixed classrooms. The difference is cultural, not related to money spent per student.
I had two engineers working for me who grew up and attended 12 years of school in tiny villages in Latin America. There were three grades per classroom and when one of them started the classrooms had dirt floors. All of them spoke and wrote well in English as well as Spanish before leaving high school. Did the money spent or not spent per student make a difference? Apparently not.
In talking to them, their parents insisted that they learn everything, even though the parents could not speak English, and knew little math.
The entire national budget for El Salvador at the time was less than the education budget for Florida, yet they beat our students in the standardized tests.
“Poor education has little to do with how much money is thrown at the problem.”
AMEN! Look at how early Americans were educated. Many early ones used only the Bible as their reader. One schoolhouse & one teacher for all ages was common. Many only schooled until 8th grade, then began working (and built our great America on only that education). Those kids studied hard, did much homework, wrote much, memorized much, learned much.
Many of today’s pubic school teachers would struggle with a 1945 8th grade exit exam.
