Less Than Half of San Francisco Students Are High-School Ready. More Than a Fourth Are Chronically Absent.
Free Beacon ^ | July 19, 2022 | Robert Schmad

For the 2021-2022 school year, just 47 percent of eighth graders were deemed ready for high school. Twenty-eight percent of students in the San Francisco Unified School District are "chronically absent"—a proportion that has doubled since the 2019-2020 school year. Two-thirds of African-American students fall into that category.

Despite the declining academic performance, San Francisco city officials have debated whether or not to rename schools or remove murals dedicated to important figures in American history. Three progressive members of the San Francisco school board were recalled earlier this year after parents opposed the district's focus on social justice issues over education.

In English Language Arts, 42 percent of students in the district scored below proficient, with 72 percent of African Americans and 66 percent of "Latinx" at reading levels deemed unsatisfactory for their grade levels.

Only Asian students in San Francisco are more likely than not to be prepared for high school. The proportion of students prepared has dropped 13 percent since 2021.

Surprised there are enough school age kids left in San Fransicko to even keep the schools open.

I’d wager that, if you used the tests that were used 50 years ago, the number ready for high school would be around 5%. They are always dumbing down the tests.

And what’s with this “English Language Arts” crap? When I was in school, it was just plain “English.” This is probably some woke BS to make English appear less threatening to minorities.

If you don’t get an education or a specific skill set you will not be able to effectively compete in a society that allows upwards mobility. Thus, you will be passed by others, and lacking specific tools with which to fight your way back, you may become resentful and feel hopeless about your prospects in life. This mindset of hopelessness and envy is fertile ground for the socialists/Marxists in the world.

But as long as they hate White people and know what gender they are, they’ll be ready for college.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

A few years ago I subbed for a GED teacher who was on medical leave. I was surprised at how challenging the material was. One of the students said he wished he had finished high school because all he had to do was show up.

The grade school I attended was in one of the better districts in Illinois in the sixties and seventies. The other day I looked it up —it’s now K-3 only— and 10% of the students are functioning at grade level in reading and math. That’s where the problem starts.

Shocker.

Not.

This is what happens when you turn your cities, school boards and teaching staff over to COMMIES.

Could be. I have found that those GED students, and other students in adult basic education classes, are pretty serious about what they are doing and have definite practical reasons for going back to school. They grew up and found out the hard way that neglecting their education was a big mistake.

It kind of depends on what they’re setbeingtested on.
CRT compliance?
Pronoun application to unknown individuals?
Deviant sex techniques?

The list goes on and on.
