Why do they group scores by race? I think that's ridiculous right there. And it can only lead to more affirmative action crap. Put the underachievers in remedial classes and that's it. What has their "race" got to do with it? As if race can even be classified with any accuracy.
Why do they group scores by race?Because no one cares more about racial group identity and classifications than the liberals do. Nobody in history. (With the possible exception of the German National Socialist Party of 1925 - 1945.)
Liberals eat, think and breath race. Race. Race. Race.
They are obsessed with the subject.
They group the scores by race so they can be sure that not only no child, but no group of children, gets left behind.
The scores get left out when the group is so small that either students of that ethnic group are under a certain percentage of the total school population (results might not be statistically significant), or the number of students in that group is so small you might be able to tell who the individual students are.
In some school districts a child's race actually hurts them. The Office of Civil Rights has decreed that SC has too many black children in Special Education, so now regardless if the child could benefit from Special Ed services, they aren't getting them because of their race. I have a serious problem with the government keeping a child from getting help because of the color of their skin.
It's worse. Schools get dinged if they have a big difference between black and white scores. It's hard to improve black scores. Schools are already trying hard at this.
But it's fairly easy to cripple white scores
