We all know it's about how these children are brought up and until something is done, it will continue.<br /><br />Blaming the school staff and accusing you of racism is just wrong. These people should be trying to fix the system than accusing people of being a racist when you brought out the data.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-83037639198159911802014-12-11T09:54:33.020-05:002014-12-11T09:54:33.020-05:00Let's make this perfectly clear.

However, the dysfunctional community and family as well as poverty is the reason education is not valued.<br /><br />When these children grow up without a father and are not taught respect for authority and are behaviorally challenged, is it any wonder they do poorly when it comes to academics.<br /><br />Its not the white man putting down the minorities, its the failure of the adults in the community to be proper role models for their children.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-66794816443376752442014-12-11T06:11:53.369-05:002014-12-11T06:11:53.369-05:00Try listening to Amos Wilson on Youtube.Try listening to Amos Wilson on Youtube.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-67736215092812285642014-12-11T06:10:38.297-05:002014-12-11T06:10:38.297-05:00Lack of money and white supremacy is why these gro...Lack of money and white supremacy is why these groups are failing.

This is especially troubling when one considers the fact that one of the richest men in the world had complete control of the school system for 12 years. The rich don't want black children to get an education; and that's a fact.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-18044484439418482462014-11-30T13:50:50.793-05:002014-11-30T13:50:50.793-05:00Links between race and poverty are consistent acro...Links between race and poverty are consistent across the country. Teachers who teach in high poverty schools are more likely to be rated ineffective and to be brought up on tenure charges. Their schools are frequently deemed to be failing, in need of turnaround strategies and ultimately closure. This scenario is common knowledge.

Yes, the City's college readiness rate is higher than how the State calculates it but to ignore the issue that high poverty black neighborhoods are associated with low academic achievement is an issue that people want to avoid.<br /><br />I get your message that just bringing it up is racism to you and that is the problem since it stops any progress to solve the issue for fear of being labeled a racist. <br /><br />Keep your head buried in the sand and ignore the inconvenient truth that race does matter when it comes to academic achievement.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-40343181813615706832014-11-30T07:47:54.603-05:002014-11-30T07:47:54.603-05:00This piece and one or two of the comments border o...This piece and one or two of the comments border on a place we might not want to travel. The college ready rate with the 75% ELA Regents and 80% Math Regents scores is a goal that schools did not shoot for until recently. Schools with mostly Level 1 students are going to have a difficult time achieving this goal and comparing these numbers is not exactly scientific. <br /><br />The reality is most families with savvy parents send their kids away from these neighborhoods for schooling so results are clearly skewed. <br /><br />If you are trying to say segregated schools are unequal, then say that. Resources matter. How many kids in these schools have learning disabilities? Research is confirming that kids from poverty households start out with a vocabulary deficit before kindrarten.<br /><br />As for the overall college readiness rate, I just went to the state website. For 2012 overall NYC had a 21.9% rate overall college readiness rate and the white rate was 39%. Is there a crisis? That is 61% of your beloved white students in NYC not college ready. The college and career readiness number is picked out as a way to hammer teachers. Every student is not going to be college ready. By buying into the state's misuse of numbers, we are going down a road we don't want to travel down where bad teachers will be seen as the problem.
