We don’t need not stinkin’ educacion.
Why are Mexicans even being considered in the numbers for education in NYC?
Shouldn't that a concern for Mexico?
I have been called all sorts of names for even mentioning that book on other blogs.
Denying the existence of genetic contributions to intelligence (or lack thereof) does not make them go away.
Maybe our teachers aren’t doing such a bad job, but there is an increasingly large pool of uneducatable children.
However, the Bell Curve does point out that Hispanics average a half-deviation higher intelligence scores than Blacks........
These students are lacking many basic academic skills which handicaps them considerably, requiring a lot of ancillary services. They also lack the rudiments of classroom discipline and are often inattentive, disruptive, or fooling around, if they are attending at all. The one thing you can't seem to fix is a startling lack of ambition--they just smile as you return failed quizzes or hand out poor report cards.
This is really a shame. Most immigrants seem to want better for their children.
Immigration issues aside, we need to get the Mexicans educated to the point the Irish became educated in the early 1900s. We aren't going to do that by patronizing the Mexicans.
English is at fault and racism. If everyone spoke Spanish and we had more open borders...we wouldn’t have this problem./s
Importing a new perpetual underclass is madness.
A reliable voting bloc for liberal parasites.
Uh, why am I confused? What are Mexicans other than the Mexican Consul, his family, and his staff doing in New York?
And why are we not seeing stories about the educational level of Americans in Guadalajara?
The New York City public high schools, outside of a dozen or so elite and selective programs like Bronx Science, produce very little.
As a taxpayer I’m far happier for someone to drop out at 15 than to “graduate” at 18 without any measurable improvement in their ability to learn a trade, pass a respectably rigorous college class, or serve a initial enlistment in the military to an honorable discharge.
But WHY are students allowed to drop out before age 18???
I know, let’s give more tax dollars to the schools. That’s the ticket.
Most Mexicans are on welfare, but you will never see that headline.
