Very true, but what has changed 5 years later? If anything, it seems like every effort to close the so-called “achievement gap” has centered in bringing down the white students to the level of the African-american ones. How sad!

I read that blog and it must be nice to get paid to produce such a derivative study.

While all of what is described in the blog about the study is sadly true it has all been identified years ago.

What is even sadder in the blog is the black leaders quoted in the article trying to discount and diminish the conclusions of the study.
