Educrat idiots continue to confuse problems of socio-economic origin with race.
But but but...I though Canada was a racism-free utopia...certainly that must mean that minority dropout rates wouldn’t be high...
"Public schools are useless."
Simple enough solution here...just hand diplomas to the top 85.0%. Edict officially complied with... That way those socialist rat educrats will not need to: a) take any responsibility, b) do any extra work, or c) care.
...and since they will be showing such a stunning increase in graduation rates, a raise would certainly be in order...

Good luck with that. The schools are part of the problem, but the larger problem is that getting an education is considered to be “selling out to whitey.” Black honor students are beaten and even killed for being “too white.” That is the reality of the true racism in the West.
And it goes full circle. What do I mean? The same victimhood ideology that dominates the public schools in North America just feeds the victimhood mindset. Good if your are a libscum seeking power who needs an ignorant and beholden population, but bad for the underlying civilization. Of course, the libscum want to wreck that civilization because it is another barrier to acquiring power, so it comes full circle twice.
Racist Canadian pigs.
Must be the cruel legacy of Canadian slavery.
That's gonna leave a mark.
Until children have two parents who value education and a society where the ignorant are not constantly rewarded with social back-ups, there will be no reason for the drop-out rate to improve.
Well, well. Another 5-year plan.
They'll simply put the offending students in a warehouse I guess.
The schools are working on that, with new programs to convert single moms to lesbians who will then marry one another and provide two or more parents.
“Must be the cruel legacy of Canadian slavery.”
Nah.
The legacy of American slavery wafts across international boundaries, continents and undoubtedly out beyond our Milky Way galaxy.
It also crosses time so that in the year 3547, “persons of color” will still be able to claim they are being held back by the taint of the Cruel Institution.
I would be banned for saying what I think about his issue....
You are spot on. I would perhaps add also the “victim mentality” and note that their heroes are rappers who were former pimps, drug dealers and the like. I have no problem with mentors, but I would also like to see some discipline added with that. Also, instead of infusing the schools with low expectations; I would raise the bar and every student would be “expected” to excel.
Getting a good education means getting well-educated.
As we all know, that takes years of consistent hard work.
For over 100 years, valid IQ tests have been given all over the world. Blacks always score lowest of all. I interpret that as saying, on average, given equal hard work by all, blacks would still come out at the bottom. That’s just a fact, but anyone who voices it gets PC’d into silence.
I have read about the defeatism over education on the parts of black schoolchildren, which has metastasized into the “acting white” taunts directed at successful black students by the dropout-type black kids. The belief that they can’t compete succesfully in school keeps many from even trying, and their disdain for school is a face-saving affectation which too many black schoolchildren adopt.
Socio-economic problems are the most important, but I can’t see any other way to get black kids educated than to afford mentors, etc, such as proposed in the article.
how the heck to they plan to do that? 4 periods of basketball? put SMOOTH and heavy hitters magazines in the study halls
“Simple enough solution here...just hand diplomas to the top 85.0%.”
I bet that will be in effect what they do.
“Africentric alternative school”
“special programs tailored for children”
“personal learning coach”
“train teachers to be more sensitive to the community”
All these “solutions” assume that the problem is with the schools, and not with the students.
None of these “solutions” will work, and the brain-weak liberals will meet again to try more stupid liberal “solutions” that won’t work either.
Every time schools are told BS like this, they end up caught in some scandal to cheat and inflate grades.
The principal of my (now mostly black) HS, was recently caught making teachers change grades on exams for black kids. The school was getting attacked for a ~50% black graduation rate and had no way out. Most of these kids never go to class and their parents don’t care. Of course the Board of Ed thinks it’s all racism.
