Watering down the tests actually hurts blacks in the long run.

School choice, competition, merit pay. Otherwise we keep getting lousy results that cost too much.

Two ways to make people equal: Lift people up, or take people down. It’s clear the approach our education system is taking.

Reading well seems mysterious and arbitrary, depending more on students’ background and personal habits than on anything they learn in class.

That's hardly mysterious and arbitrary - do the parents make the kids read books or do they let them watch modern Leftist-themed cartoons all day?

For reasons I cannot fathom half the time, at 50 I have decided to go back to school and get a masters in elementary education (my undergrad degree is in international finance and I was a practicing corporate mergers and acquisitions attorney for 8 years prior to having kids). The main goal in every class I have taken so far is diversity and cultural sensitivity. Between that and the emphasis on “social constructivist learning” and “it isn’t the answer that matters but the process by which a student got there” I am thoroughly disgusted.

This is why the good private schools have very long waiting lists of children, whose parents will pay anything to get them into those private schools. Those good private schools can basically charge whatever they want to charge.

Our California Grand kids had excellent k-8 public schools.

Their 9-12 public schools went to hell by allowing anyone with a pulse and a minority status to come to that school.

One of their mother’s relatives had been through this B$ in the east coast with his kids. So, he footed a large part of the cost, and we helped.

That enabled those kids to basically get into good colleges.
One had to go to an out of state school as a white kid who made a single b in her entire life. She got a 25$K per year scholarship at an excellent STEM school back east. Her bro was offered to attend several out of state and instate engineering schools. I told him to make up a binder of his offers to show the Cali interviewers. He was then accepted by the school he want to go to.

He has several friends from the local public school taking online basic courses from the local community colleges.

this won't stop till a certain segment of the population is reduced to slapping it's forehead and grunting while it points to things they want...
