Crummy raw materials. Public schools populated by white students do just fine. American public schools turn out excellent product compared to the the populations of the old country. Asians do better than students in Asia, whites do better than students in Europe, blacks do better than students in Africa, and so on. What people are complaining about is the fact that blacks don’t do as well as whites. That will happen around the same time that whites are as well-represented on pro football and basketball teams and Olympic track teams as blacks.
Must be all that 'white privilege'.
Where is the proof that government schools for white children are doing just fine.? Maybe it is the white families that are doing fine and the kids are doing somewhat OK IN SPITE of the government indoctrination.
It is my anecdotal observation that academically successful institutionalized children have parents that have done, and are doing, ***everything** that I did for my academically successful homeschoolers. The institutionalized children are spending just as much time doing HOMEWORK after school that my children did all day!
So?...My conclusion?
The schools are doing the teaching. It is the parents who are supervising the AFTER-schooling.
No, they don't.
I live in an area where there are a number of "lily white" public schools. There are two where the students are doing fine. Housing in these two districts BTW sells at a premium. The rest are only doing slightly if at all better then the urban schools that are not white.
Otherwise the only schools that are doing well are the charter and private schools.
It doesn't fit with the template that some wish to push but bad teaching methods results in poorly educated students. It is no more complicated then that.
