So basically that's saying that students of color are incapable of mastering reading, writing or math.
“Oregon again says students don’t need to prove mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate, citing harm to students of color.”
“So basically that’s saying that students of color are incapable of mastering reading, writing or math.”
Oregone is not by itself re these reading and math issues.
My mother was a reading teacher with a masters’ degree based on how important it was to test new students and basically assess every student on their ability to read and understand what they read via the testing not what grade they were in.
She moved to the DC area in the mid 1960’s and became a reading guidance teacher for one of the counties in Virginia outside DC.
Her employers were pleased and happy with her results until an event’s aftermath took over versus reality.
That event’s aftermath was first the killing of Martin Luther King.
There were riots after MLK was killed. My Mother was told that she could not test students for their reading levels versus their grade level. They considered that reality as racist.
She resigned and moved back to her SW home state. She started job interviews for the upcoming semester. She was told no by her former employers as they now felt that her system was racist.
A private school 50 miles away in another city/school district offered her a great job. She taught reading with her skills for 5+ years and retired as the same BS was starting there.
She retired and became a private reading teacher. She taught one on one or to small classes until she was in her 70’s and retired.
Later, she predicted that nationwide most students would not be able to read nor write and do simple math.
“So basically that’s saying that students of color are incapable of mastering reading, writing or math.”
That might be an implication some would understand it to be, but IMHO there are a lot of dumbasses in Oregon, but Oregon doesn’t necessarily stand alone.
Exactly
“So basically that’s saying that students of color are incapable of mastering reading, writing or math.”
If that’s a genetic feature then so be it.
