I always say when the NYT tells you a new initiative to raise black school achievement is a great success, just wait a couple years and you'll find out it actually failed.

I’m quite sure the “actin’ white” philosophy is taught there, or at least encouraged. Getting good grades is “actin’ white.” I’ve seen this first-hand.

Why would anyone want illiterates involved in education? Think James and most teachers.

“LeBron James’ I Promise School Eighth Graders Failed To Pass State Math Test, “

Why is the NYT bashing Lebron’s school when it’s performance is as good or better than many inner city schools in NY and is not funded by tax dollars?

And Labron James failed to pass state grammar test.

I have no idea what what he is attempting to communicate in that headline.

Why couldn’t they have passed the kids like other schools do?

No amount of money, high, priced, teaching, or high tech wizardry will accomplish. What a simple message from home can accomplish. Education is important. A culture destroys these children.

In other news, the school’s basketball program is looking for a white or Asian scorekeeper.
