Of course it didn't. The distribution of IQ isn't uniform. The top performers are a narrow subset of each racial/ethnic group. There is a self-selection bias in college courses that helped my classroom composition vs a compulsory K-12 environment. A similar situation exists at my place of employment. We hire on merit and that makes life easier when trying to meet customer requirements. Even with "diversity" targets, we're still selecting the best of the best to be employees.
Some parents give a damn.....
Higher “education” has been spoiled anyway, and affirmative action is the very least of it.
The ruling exposed libtards for their blatant RACISM
Frederick Douglass, like his contemporary, Abraham Lincoln, pretty much taught himself how to read. Imagine the brain power required to pull something like that off.
Because he lacked the formal education of his time, his autobiography is very readable to today’s reader. He doesn’t go for the elaborate flourishes common to writers of his time.
My daughter made it through being 147th in line to getting an invitation to attend the Charter High School two blocks from my house.
Beginning this Fall, with the Class of 2027, they are revising their Grade Scale; there will be no more D’s.
90% is the cutoff for an A
80% is the cutoff for a B
70% is the cutoff for a C
Below that, you get an F
There are ~2300 students at this school, less than 1% of whom had disciplinary issues resulting in suspension. Statewide the average is 3%.
Eyes wide open but planning on a good run.
I modeled my classes after the self-paced physics courses I taught at UCSD as a TA. Assignments for the entire term are distributed on the first day. The standard of performance is 100% correct execution of each exercise. 100% mastery of the topic. Move forward as rapidly as you are capable. Get tutoring when you have difficulty mastering the concept. The supervising professor in the physics dept at UCSD administered a mid-term and a final exam. My grade as a TA was dependent on the mid-term/final results of my students. At the embedded systems class, I assigned completion of 30 basic exercises for a grade of C. The next 3 extra credits earned a B. All 5 extra credits earned an A. Many of my top performers earned an A by mid-term and helped tutor the others who had difficulty grasping some topics.
Never forget: School administrators are Federal Bureaucrats.
The education system’s failure to prepare non-white student.
Not just for non-white student almost all are dumbed down for a reason only the selected few who will rule will survive unless home schooled or private schools.
“It has nothing to do with race.”
” I contend America’s education system has intentionally and systematically failed people of all races. Considering that Caucasians are still a majority in America, the education system has failed more whites than any other race. There are people who despite the education system that still succeed. The number one reason is very simple: parents. It's not teachers. It's not teacher unions. It's not government.”
” Some parents give a damn. They make sure their children are educated. They send their children to first grade already reading. They correct the erroneous excrement that their children are taught. They spend endless hours teaching real mathematics. They provide their children the ability to teach themselves so their children can survive the abject failures of government school teachers.”
