Reading and math competency chart broken down by race and state. Black Americans are doing pitiful.

their parent are too busy either trying to live a second childhood, arguing about nonsense on social media or completely disinterested and unconcerned about the education of their children.

Stats like these reflect poorly on black parents more than even the child.

A lot of coli brehs need to gain some self awareness and recognize where they are failing their child or children

Yes, but it also reflects the shyt we value. When kids get away from their parents they start to act like the people they choose to associate with, even if they're being raised correctly at home. When everybody is on some "too cool for school" (been that way since I was in elementary) shyt and wanting to be followers, this is what happens.

Socially, Black American's aren't dealing with enough to neglect a basic education. Poor parents can have smart, highly successful kids, it happens all the time.

Funding won't fix the issue. It starts with the culture and the hunger for education.

See my post above. I don’t fully disagree but economics will always matter here when it comes to education.

If your parents weren’t very good at it how can the kids be? Or how can they be hands on at home when they’re providing? It’s nuanced

 

[jilla82]

You gotta look at the poor state of these schools in minority areas. Which don't get adequate funding from the Government.

School Districts That Serve Students of Color Receive Significantly Less Funding

like most things its about culture...
not about money spent

we spend more money on children's education than Japan and Israel

I dont see how you can blame funding when you can walk into one of these school and see how everyone is behaved...
its a big reason im a "tough on crime" type of person.

how are your kids supposed to pay attention in school when they have to navigate violent people?

add it to the list of shyt we're slacking in

- marriage rates
- divorce rates
- income rates
- single parenthood
- NEW: reading and math competency

only thing we have is probably swag and highest percentage of public figures being rappers

Also this shyt is a mix of systemic issues and personal failures. BOTH. Idk why these threads try to blame one more than the other. Racism is baked into the America system. It's a huge roadblock and a funnel. Some of us can make it through the other end of that funnel, the majority get blocked at the opening

 

[Wild self]

That’s a cop out. Schools were underfunded and kids were going to school in run down shacks in the south post slavery. The difference is parents/culture actually valued education.

Funding isn’t going to change anything if they’re being raised by social media in a chaotic household.

The Crack Era done made people disrepsect knowledge of any intellectual level

Here’s the context though in America. How do you get people in who actually give a damn about strangers education? That comes from MONEY. When you really take a step back a lot of this is economic. Even poor WHITE areas struggle with education.

But I’ve personally seen kids with shyt home situations succeed because their school was amazing with amazing staff. It matters, you can’t pick your parents but you can control your surroundings

There's American kids that came from a poor background who went on to successful

There's American kids that came from a rich background that ended up being bums.

Outliers will always exist. No matter what the conversation is.

 

[Tair]

always starts at home. always.

but when it's a problem for a group as a whole, the culture has to change.

You can't change people that don't care. You just have to abandon them and link up with other like minded people, setting and maintaining a new standard/culture.

Intellect & education should take precedence, not necessarily money because an idiot with money will ruin a good community.

Again, when you blame all your failures on systematic racism, you will never be successful. That's how we got to this point.

There are some things we can control and there are some things we can't control. We can control the hunger for academics. We can push black kids to read the newspaper and get some books from the library.

 

[Wild self]

It's the collective of shytty Black adults who don't want to be adults and create positive environments for Black kids to grow.

These kids are not encouraged to learn or work together. They're blasted by ignorant c00n times telling them to essentially be idiots that hate each other.

We need to recognize how hip-hop was compromised by cacs and c00ns.

When Hip Hop pushed out Public Enemy and put NWA and the "real nikka" paradigm, it was a WRAP for a lot of,black folk as a,whole

1000%.

 

[Scaaar]

who do you think is responsible for teaching a child how and why to take their education seriously?

You negroes think that kids are just supposed to pop out of the womb is fully formed adults.


No motherfukker, you have to nurture, teach and discipline your child

You're definitely right. Too many parents view school as just a free daycare at this point. They don't teach their kids to value an education and they don't want the teachers to hold the kids accountable for taking their education seriously either. That's why we have a crop of people now that only get their news from blog sites and social media. They forget that not too long ago it was punishable by death for us to even know how to read

 

[B86]

Those parents blamed white people for failing so their kids failed?

Aye, I ain't never heard my parents make no excuses. They went out there and busted their ass to make sure I was straight. Like they told me "we work to take care of us. YOUR job is to go to school and do well at it".

Guess who doesn't make excuses now and doesn't let their kids make excuses?

So with that said, yeah...I can see parents blaming everybody but themselves and the kids having that same mentality because of it.

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

School is for everybody.

It's time to get in that mindset and instill it in our children.
