You can spend all the money in the world, but it will be mostly wasted when you have a culture that doesn’t make education a priority.

In a nutshell you have named the root cause of the black educational shortfall.

But if the blacks accept your (and my) recommendation they will be accused of “acting white”. That is a sin in the black communities and their Democrat overlords have zero interest in steering them in that direction.

Until the Black community leaders try to deal with the family structure of the Black community, these differences will remain.

Yep, I find it arrogant that they could even consider the school as a place that can change this. The problem isn’t the school.

It’s a good example of, “If you don’t correctly identify the problem you’ll never have the right solution”. Their solution tried to fix what wasn’t broken.

Here’s a clue teachers, how many of those students don’t have a father around? At best, these students will be the next gen fathers (very soon), IF THEY stick around, most won’t. Generations that don’t value education, or fatherhood, which becomes built into their culture. School programs don’t fix that.

Education begins at home. When there is no father and mama doesn’t care, Junior isn’t going to go to school much turn in his homework.
