Are Asian children more or less likely to be funneled into poor quality school systems with high percentages of inexperienced, low quality teachers, high teacher turnover rates, high student/teacher ratios, and an emphasis on criminal behavior management systems?
Do white teachers have racist negative perceptions of them that impact the quality of instruction they provide to their Asian students? Research demonstrates that’s the case for black students.
Are Asian student as likely to be under-identified in talented and gifted programs as blk students?
On top of ALL of this, are Asian families in a higher socioeconomic bracket than AA families or not? Will this impact the quality of education and their post-school outcomes or not?
I mean I’ve already posted some of the literature but we haven’t even scratched the surface.
I got a reference list of about 56 quantitative studies linking poverty, racism, white teacher perceptions and exclusionary discipline with economic opportunity gaps, school to prison pipeline, disciplinary gaps AND teacher quality gap AND disproportionality in special education—- in all of which are big factors ALONE much less together in blk American student achievement than blk parenting practices.
Even blk boys from affluent backgrounds are STILL fukked over in our education system.

Make. It. Make. Sense.
I know ur thinking that a young dude raised by Bonequesha in the hood who ain’t reading to lil man when he’s young is the primary cause of this shyt.
But studies also show that black families are more involved with student education more than ever...but the gaps still persist.

“TELL ME WHY!”
♦ African-American boys score relatively lower (from about one-tenth to one-fifth of a standard deviation) in reading skills assessments (see Figure 3).41 How- ever, once we control for SES, financial resources and demographic characteristics, the gaps disappear at pre-school age and at kindergarten, in fact, we see a better significant outcome for African-American boys than white boys.

How crazy it is that our kids do better in the early years prior to enduring these shytty ass schools...
But are SEVERAL years behind by the time they in the 3rd grade.
Probably b/c racism starts as soon as our babies enter American educational systems and remain problematic from cradle to grave.
What Could Make Less Sense than Expelling a Preschooler?
Not saying blk parents are perfect. Just saying even the ones that are can’t fight these barriers alone without us carrying some collective scars.
