Just give ‘em all 100%. That’s equity, right?

Even in the worst city schools where I taught, most of the kids were good. They just needed direction, and a firm set of rules.
But no administration had the courage to put that in place. It was so much easier to declare an “equity” policy, as you noted. And do you know who suffered the most? It was those good kids. Little was asked of them. And so they graduated with few skills.
Whole generations of kids (mostly black) are lost this way.
