The continuing saga of the dividing of America.
It’s the same with the child abuse cases. When I complain to the judge about the the lack of everything in the home, the mother rolls her eyes and acts like I am reciting white requirements for a home as opposed to human requirements for a home.
“The racial achievement gap exists and persists because fundamentally, schools are not designed to educate people of color.”
Horse. Sh*t.
What they want is for Planet Earth and everyone on it to bend over and spread ‘em for Black people.
Sorry, Charlie, the world doesn’t work that way.
The kids don’t want to work, the kids don’t want to study, the kids don’t want to learn - hey, plenty of jobs available at McDonald’s and Burger King.
And, personally, I am thoroughly sick and utterly tired of Black people whining for extra privileges and a free ride.
Why it is amusing to see libs eating their own, that statement basically summarizes why there is and will always be a ghetto in US cities.
I just love these satire articles.
They are implementing a re-segregation policy as fast as they can...and dooming themselves to social and financial poverty in their own private hell.
Some will escape and join the civilized world, but the rest will sink into a drug infested oblivion.
D@mn shame, but it's a personal choice.
btttt
We are doomed. There is no way out of the mind-screw and illogic.
Inner city schools have been ruined by 40 years of Dem politicians and 40 years of Dem school boards who are the real racists. And now we can blame the white teachers. This is too rich.
The problem with schools in America is that resume padding, know nothing Administrators who only stick around for two years, max, and never have to face the fruit of their labors, continually come up with plans designed to give the impression of “progress”. They coddle protected class offenders and punish teachers who rightly try to impose discipline, and teaching standards like right and wrong. They’ve saddled teachers with so much work that they can’t actually teach any more. It’s a disaster and it’s only getting worse, because the ones who are capable and care are the ones who are closest to heading out the door.
The crocodile turned on you last, but turn on you, it did.
We kicked God out of schools and plugged our children into satans airwaves instead of the Bible
Now we reap what we sowed
Public schools are child abuse.
In a word, blacks are in denial.
No accountability, no responsibility, it’s all whitey’s fault because you’re inherently racist and can’t relate to ebonics and a “culture” of ignorance.
They have given these schools everything they said was needed to increase performance, black teachers, principals, school boards, etc. They twisted a formerly working institution into a menagerie of violence, ignorance, and excuses. They refuse to take any responsibility or even acknowledge the community culture might be the problem. Order, Discipline, and high expectations are the only things that have been PROVEN to work in these school systems.
” “There’s a lot of cultural differences that they don’t understand ...”
Bad grammar on the part of this education professional.
Should be “Thee ARE a lot of cultural differences ....
And I was lucky; the district where I taught was rural and in the south, so the gang influence was negligible. Still, the environment was horrible; every child qualified for the “supplemental nutrition program,” so classes stopped every morning at 8:45 for breakfast, and we were instructed to get everyone to the cafeteria for lunch and the after school snack as well, because much of our federal funding was tied to participation in the nutrition programs.
Inside the classroom, many of the kids had major discipline issues, for various reasons. Most were well below grade level in math and reading. I was a history teacher, but spent a lot of time tutoring math; sadly, most of my students had not yet mastered three column addition and subtraction, so there was no way they could handle the expected math curriculum for seventh graders (pre-algebra). We spent our spring semester each year prepping for the state achievement test, in the vain hope we could get enough of our kids to achieve a passing score (fat chance; when I left, the district was placed under state control).
Learning begins with discipline, both individually and in the group. And that's what is (largely) missing from today's schools in America. In fact, the very modest attempts to impose order and structure are demagogued as being racist. Idiots like Glenn Singleton, enabled by Barack Obama and Eric Holder, are being enabled to complete the destruction of our schools. You couldn't pay me enough to teach in an urban district today, and 10 years from now, the schools won't exist, or they will be run like prisons--there won't be any other solution.
Of course, there are exceptions. Parochial schools in the same neighborhoods are models of excellence and discipline, largely because parents are involved, and some work two or three jobs to pay their child's tuition. In public schools, the parents (in my experience) were just as bad or worse than the kids. Our slowest day of the year was the "Parent-Teacher Conference." I had six sections of seventh grade social studies (average 30 students per class). I could count on one hand the number of parents who would actually show up to discuss their child's achievement (or lack thereof)
The real victims in all of this were the few parents and children who expected the school to provide an education. I remember one young girl (African-American) who made straight As because (a) she wanted to learn, and (b) her parents demanded it. Her father was an HVAC repairman who worked long hours but always attended every parent-teacher conference.
During one meeting, he lamented the fact that his kids were being held back by the "criminals and thugs" (his words, not mine). "What do I do?" He asked. He couldn't afford private school and home schooling was out of the question, since both he and his wife worked long hours each day. So, his son and daughter were trapped in badly failing schools.
I left the classroom ten years ago, but I think about that young woman from time to time. Both she and her family deserved better and I hope she somehow survived the system.
This much I know: until discipline is restored in our schools, nothing will be accomplished. Two-thirds of all serious disciplinary problems are committed by just six percent of the students. We know who they are, and the system has tools to handle them, including indefinite suspension and expulsion. But most principals, superintendents and school boards were too afraid to use them BEFORE Obama's little initiative on "fairness" in school discipline. Getting rid of that policy should be the first education executive order signed by the next Republican president.
The jey words in Holder’s statement:
“Equal educational OPPORTUNITIES”
The books are the same for blacks as white. The desks are the same. The light is the same. The heat is the same. The teacher says his/her words out loud for the whole class to hear. The sound in the room is the same.
The difference is in a ‘culture’ where behaving in a respectful manner towards a person who is trying to teach you something useful for your ‘adult’ life is considered ‘selling out’ to the rest of the black/Mexican ‘hood’ and showing any ability to behave or learn or achieve in the same manner as a white student.
IF this author is looking for sympathy from me, They can count me out.
Even when I was in school 57 years ago, there were those who didn’t even try to pretend they were paying attention.
Those who ride the trail from school to prison have paved that road with their own actions.
TAKE VIDEOS of these “students.” Don’t just tell the world. SHOW THEM.
