And you know what, you're not going to know everything. But knowing what to do in teaching critical thinking skills isn't too difficult, read through that link, it'll take you through the know how on your end and even build your own skills.

However, "know how" really isn't the hard part, it's being able to implement the system until they get it. Which could take years considering plenty of factors (like your time schedule), but it will get easier as the time passes, because the longer they practice it, the easier it gets. Make sure you're not just telling them what to do, but make them actually do it (buy riddle books, etc.).

There's a Physicist by the name of Richard Feynman, his dad wasn't exceptionally smart (didn't get past algebra) but was able to teach his kid how to think. They too weren't wealthy, and couldn't afford the best elementary education. Plenty of the books Feynman wrote, he talked about how his dad would raise him, and how much of an impact it had on him. Feynman's IQ was only registered to be 125, and it's been generally accepted he may jot have had more raw brain power than plenty of other wcientiats, but it was his way of thinking that made many consider him to be one of the best and brilliant physicists this world has ever seen.

For sure i'm reading this, i actually had it book marked already from some other time when you posted it, i think i just forgot about it. I do already try some riddles with my kids, or in general just get them to try to think about things but the more resources i have the better. If you have any leads on any riddle type games hook it up. :smile:

caint have much faith in a school system that doesnt attempt 100% proficiency even if it is improbable...it is kind of surreal that the florida board of education would admit they intent to service a select number of students...a kid is fukked if he or she aint proficient when the achievement percentages are realized...

kid: i caint read
florida: too bad we got our numbers

I would rather know that black children are being outperformed than the numbers be hidden as they often are or not publicized at all.
THIS.
Over time it'll become
"what are you talking about they are performing as expected(re:planned), nothing to see here move along."

The standards seem consistent with the scores of California, New York, and just about everywhere else in the Nation.

It's been almost 60 years since integration and 40 years since the great society program, and nothing has changed. I believe scores have actually went down a little since the 50s.

an exorbitant amount of money has been spent per child on D.C. schools, and that hasn't changed anything. The problem doesn't seem to be funding at all.

It's culture. Sorry. That's all there is too it. Black American culture does not promote academics and scholastic achievement.

I see so many cultures out here and it's consistently East Asians, Middle easterners, South Asians, East Africans and other African immigrants who are on top of everything from the hard sciences to accounting.

People say it has nothing to do with race...sorry. Race and culture are intertwined, and will always be. There's a race in America. A relatively new hybrid race with a slave-mind culture--these are the African Americans, and for the most part they suck. The first black president was the son of an African Immigrant. I think that says a lot.

Yeah because schools in South LA(Dorsey High School) receive the same funding as West LA(Fairfax High ) schools

Since when did the African Immigrant represent the garden variety African still living their?

When did that happen?
