Just Wait Until You Hear What This Teachers Union President Is Blaming for Disastrous Test Scores

[Gritty]

The data shows that, in 2022, a mere 9 percent of Chicago’s black eighth graders were proficient in reading and only 4 percent were proficient in math

So, get rid of the tests then there is no blame and no problem, right? In Shitcago it seems not even showing up and going to government union run schools would be an improvement on learning outcomes.

Testing has been done for centuries and in societies with zero blacks around. Therefore it cannot possibly be racist. q.e.d.

[Organic Panic]

So nothing to do with incompetence from the teachers and staff?

Meritocracy is a Western ideology that has been widely copied to one degree or another by many nations and cultures to pull themselves up out of their inherited states of barbarity.

But today the oligarchs are embarked on a major drive to reestablish the hereditary rulership of the “Ancient Regime” that “The Revolution of 1775” started the collapse of.

In the latter years of slavery, some states made it illegal to teach slaves to read and write. After slavery, Democrats had to come up with another way of keeping black people illiterate, so they turned to public schools in inner cities.

Standardized testing is bad because of origins in the eugenics movement

Ignorant woman. Standardized testing had its origins a couple of thousand years ago in China. The tests were developed to eliminate bias in hiring for the civil service.

I suspect she did not do well on standardized tests.

Ha!!! Good point.

I don't understand why there isn't more private schools being created in our nation. I would think there would be lots of money to be made there.

Maybe that could be something trump could bring up. Tax breaks for private schools. Private schools are desperately needed, and a little competition might be just the thing for the public ones...
