Why is it broken out by “race”?
Presence and involvement of both parents.
Expectation, effort, and IQ.
Too few English and Germans.
Poor standards in education extend to those who become teachers and administrators, too. There is a vast difference in competence between teachers we had when I was young and many I observe today.
Culture.
Cranial Mass.
Were the ballots “cured”?
It doesn’t say which students. Is this at graduation from high school or what? And what level of reading and math was being tested. I find even 60% too low for what I would prefer. If it was graduating high school it should 100% regardless of race.
when equality of opportunity became equality of results.
Great jeans.
Seeing how statistics are falsified to include many non whites as “white” that doesn’t mean much for the white stat.
how about ‘they pulled that data right out of their ass’
Actually, this is driven by parents. Some care a lot, others not so much. It has nothing whatsoever to do with schools.
Because no matter how much or how loudly it’s denied the Bell Curve is true.
One part family life, one part the instilled ambition to be better.
Ben Carson, a “black” man and former brain surgeon, grew up in poverty with a single-mom. But she was a Godly woman who raised her sons right, and gave to them, instilled in them, the ambition to be better. His genetics did not hurt him.
The third part of the answer is it’s not genetics.
Immigrants of all sorts come with the ambition that they have to push themselves and their kids to get ahead here. On average most legal immigrants do not sit back and rely on average ambition to do well. They figure that will not be enough.
About 88% of Asians in the U.S. are 1st and 2nd generation immigrants.
Asians are not smarter than Whites, if that was the case that whole continent would not be the F’ed up S-hole that it is. We just have a dis-proportionate number of the smart ones here who decided to leave because it is a F’ed up S-hole
GIGO.
some kids/cultures are ineducable. Not that they’re not CAPABLE, but they refuse to accept western standards of education and the government-union run “learning” environment, choosing instead to rebel.
I know how a woke liberal would explain this:
The people who drew up this test for proficiency were RACISTS
The people who established the standards for proficiency wereRACISTS
The people who administered the test were RACISTS
The people who tabulated the results were RACISTS
And the people who drew up this chart and published it were RACISTS
BTW, your posting it to FR makes you a RACIST...
I assume when they say Asian, I wonder if the numbers would be higher if it weren’t for the Pakis and Afghans?
