Middle school and high school Math is easy as shyt. I could do algebra in my sleep and I was one of the lazy non studying students.
I mean, I feel you. But it’s clear them youngans not feeling the same…

How about parents send their kids to school already knowing the basics? That right there solves a lot of the problems. Can't have a class with 30 students and 15 can't even read and 10 don't know there times table. What tests are going to be passed from this class alone if any??
For sure. Baltimore has tons of issues with lead pipes.
A lot of people struggle to think in systems which is why these threads tend to go the same way every time, the blame falls at the feet of the parents. If we look deeper at the demographics of these schools, it's very likely that the students are disproportionately Black.
When people flock to these threads blaming parents, they're suggesting that Black people by and large are terrible at parenting their children.
It's both lazy and anti-Black. It's also the exact conclusion that the dominant society would like everyone to reach about Black people.
Facts. These dudes tryna tell me that out of THOUSANDS of black parents not one was good enough for their children. Gtfoh. That's literally impossible.
Even by luck someone shoulda passed. Out of thousands of kids you're tryna tell me not one was an outlier? That's complete bullshyt. The system has to be garbage is the only conclusion.
I didn't think what I said was all that hard to follow, but... all I'm saying, is that the standard for success and the culture and climate within a school is established by leadership. The administration is tasked with ensuring that each student is being taught and has support. Rigor is important, because with black kids, it's common for them to be getting instruction from white teachers... who may have biases and lower expectations for them. You have classrooms where some teachers aren't challenging kids and are passing them along because they don't think they're capable of doing more. This is why black teachers are important for our youth, because they have a different perspective on our youth's potential. This also is how you can have kids getting As in class with mid and mediocre work, and then getting their teeth kicked in when it comes to their proficiency levels.
Curriculum rigor and good teachers are closely aligned, which I touched on above, but the tone in these buildings is set by the admins (principal, assistant principal, superintendents etc). Policy and what a district is letting slide and approves is shaped and approved by the school board.
All this shyt matters more than parent engagement. Active parents have power in holding the schools accountable and of course being involved in their kids education. In a utopian world, all kids would have great support and access to great parents who are there for them. But that's not reality, nor is it something that a school district can control, which is why I'm saying what I'm saying.

Again, I'm going to bring up that Mexico is on the same tier as Switzerland when it comes to producing new engineers.
How are these kids going to compete for the higher paying STEM jobs 10 years from now against the immigrants?
They won't.
Oh and bet they'll have kids too.
How are they going to help their kids with math when they themselves were horrible at it?
They won't.

should be the foreword reminder on every new thread. it's exhausting seeing people argue without that sort of understanding in mind.

It doesn't spell doom, but you got to change something.
Realize something here, this is 2023.
All the learning material on the internet the entire world over is using and now has access to, except those in the states at these households.
You got to want to learn to open those browser tabs and point them at math and educational websites, not Twitter and clout-chasing.
If your kid is still struggling either you hire a tutor or you learn the material yourself and start teaching it to them.
Parenting is a full-time job. If you don't have the time and money for it, don't have kids.

There is nothing more important than parental engagement .

You gotta have good paying jobs that allow those parents to be at home in the 1st place.
And I don't mean that UPS type of money. You'd be too tired to blink even if you were home at a decent hour.
My kids were fine before, during, and after the pandemic. Not only do they like doing well in school, but they don’t want to hear my mouth
