Yes, I'm in Canada.
Can't wait until we return to 20%
You are a Canadian in Canada, but you are worrying about the Maths scores of Black children in California? I am in America and I don't care.
Black students in Cali: only 20% pass MATH state test, 33% pass READING test

You are a Canadian in Canada, but you are worrying about the Maths scores of Black children in California? I am in America and I don't care.
So are you volunteering to be a Maths tutor for little Black kids in California? You can do it virtually.
You might not know this because you live in Canada, but California's Black population is only about 6% of the entire population of the State. Most Black Americans live east of the Rockies with the majority of those being east of the Mississippi River. On another note your point is really an indictment of the public education system in the USA.

i feel like my dads comicbook hobby ensure all us learned to read early. The pictures really incentivized me as kid to figure what they were saying to go along with the cool imagery.
yeah maybe they don’t like to read cause they got boring ass books. No reason kids shouldn’t be taught to read with comic books and shyt. Thousands of books written a. Year and they gotta read some dud from the 1800s.

It's like black kinds aren't meeting the standards so what do the people in power do? They lower the standards even more.
We have to get it together. Buckle down like the Asians. School, then cram school and then home studies or tutoring.
We're failing our children. If we're really who we say we are we would adapt to the standards set and demolish them. Our 8 year olds can't keep up with their curriculum.
You can't make this shyt up. What kind of message does this send to black kids?

Black kids are failing regardless where they are - blue state or red state. This is a cultural failure that policy and politics can't fix.

Those test are culturally biased only part universal is the math

Follow me to the truth
Our? Nah. Those kids are the successors for their parents and their families. Not mine. Not yours.

The test scores for this past school year is abysmal.
Across the state of California, of the grade 3-8 and grade 11 Black or African American students tested, only 17.95% passed or exceeded standards.
30,810 black students received a score and only 5,530 passed the test.
This is for maths.
All of the blame can not be put on the parents, primarily it's the system.
I tried to be STEM teacher, because my background as an Chemical Engineer, and I killed the CSET test, and I get contacted all the time to be a teacher, but I want to teach at a primarily Black school, but they always send me jobs to teach at Non-Black (Hispanics/Latinos) schools, which I am not going to do.
I would actually take a pay cut to be a STEM teacher at a Black school.

Bullshyt. Unless by culturally biased you mean the test is biased towards those households that have a culture of reading, studying, valuing education and merit, and having high expectations of their children.
Also, there is this narrative out there that math is racist now.

70% of it is the home life. Kids and the parents are addicted to screens/marijuana.
Go online, look up the demographics of schools in your area, find the Black schools, and contact their principals directly. The principals will hook you up with the openings.

Those test are bias and also these Non-Black parents have access to the answers to the test, for example https://www.washingtonpost.com/educ...dditional-charges-college-admissions-scandal/
The college admission scandal was the tip of the iceberg, they do it at all levels. They have access, to the test answers, the testing administrator, they can change the answers, change the scores and etc.
