I wish I had a magic wand that would allow you to shop while Black, drive your 2017 SUV while Black, wear headphones and listen to lively music as you groove along on the village sidewalk while Black, stand in line at McDonald's while Black ... and so on.

Let me know when you experience that .

I’m talking about the whole picture. To force poor families, or any family for that matter, to send their children to poor performing schools is criminal.

Therefore, what needs to be changed in teacher education so that students don't go to "poor performing schools"?

They could start by stopping teachers from teaching a distorted version of American history like the 1619 Project .

You are assuming the problem is these “poor” teachers. I think you need to broaden your horizons.

No, the problem is crappy college curricula.

Might be part of the problem but not the major problem.

It's Problem #1.

There is no data to support that.

If teachers don't know what to teach -- and HOW to teach -- the students ... finish the sentence.

There is no data to support your idea.

what data do you have?

Best book on the subject I know of is No Excuses by the Thernstroms. It is a detailed examination of NAEP scores. Another great one is Meaningful Differences which examines the differences in how poor kids are raised versus middle and upper class kids. Money is not the difference.

I think that the biggest thing that has to be overcome is the attitude of the students. They are so willing to tear eachother down and reject excellence for percieved fame. Be it dealing drugs or internet views.

On a side note: Thanks Tal for the welcome back. I never really left I just been in the shadows. AMHD isnt what it used to be.

Welcome cdad. Your observation about students has some merit.

Thank you

That's sure true.

A task force for the Gavin Newsom clown show recommends reparations in California for every descendant of slaves to the tune of $223,200/person. This would total $569 billion .........more than the state's $512.8 billion total expenditures in 2021 .

Nothing for the descendants of men killed in the Union army fighting to free slaves? Why am I not surprised?

They are saying this is based on housing discrimination. if that is the case ;and it probably is to a degree ;then the specific victims of the polices should be identified and compensated.
