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

We need to remove all incentives for broken homes and switch to a school voucher system.

you have to make sure the kids don't suffer/are hurt in the process.

 

[feelosofer]

We need to take a critical look at how we are raising our children as a collective. Not being able to function past a 4th grade level is dooming us to being a permanent underclass.

 

[Wild self]

Right.

It also means the people who make good decisions are astronomically far ahead.

Someone making an incredibly dumb decision makes the other person who makes a smart decision exponentially rewarded.

Like seriously, someone who's not-so-bright decides to make a child with another idiot.

Now compare that to an Engineer who has a child with another Engineer.

One household can teach their kids all types of ways to attack math and science problems they while the other kid has to learn math and science from a teacher who barely passed basic math.

America glorifies casual sex too much. Guess what happens when you smash excessively with the opposite sex? BABIES.

Horny people make kids and have zero plans on how to raise these kids. They basically crash dummy accidents that promote meritocracy and short term gains, like fast money, popularity, materialism and the like.

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.

Dawg, what do you think the numbers were like back then?

No. This would make it even worse

We don't fail be cause we call out systemic racism, we fail because we don't care to teach our children.

A parent that speaks on racism/white supremacy is likely reading to their kids and takes their child's education seriously like my parents.

Mine taught me all about systemic racism but they never once put it in my head that it's holding us back, because at this point in time it's not (nor was it at that time). So parents telling their kids that the white man is the reason they don't succeed definitely plays a part.

Yup. This is facts.

People even push that "have fun when you're young and settle later on" shyt. Thing is, that makes for horrible families later on with one or both parents thinking about their younger days and not taking raising a family seriously. Many people do not have that mentality and have far less drama and raise better, brighter, mentally disciplined and stable kids.

People need to look at themselves as well. Many people should not be having kids.

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

No. This would make it even worse

How would vouchers make it worse?

 

[Rekkapryde]

When Cacs 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

Fixed.

Kill all that pro black rebel against the machine shyt, we need yall to show the ignant shyt cause that sells and takes the focus off having fun and shytting on us!!!

If you an extrovert that wants excess fun, best NOT to have kids. At all. Especially having kids under the age of 28 nowadays when society promotes clubbing, excitement, and random Diddy shyt over planning a long term partner and financial planning.

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?

If you visited one of these schools it might change your mind. Not much learning is going on at all. If the school are that chaotic. I can only imagine these kids home lives.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

Parenting.




If YOU didn’t teach your kid to read before first grade, that’s on you.

If you don’t drill the importance of education into YOUR kids, that’s on you.

If you didn’t tell your kids STEM is the future, again, that’s is a you problem.

The world is going to pass us by and after 2020 and how we didn’t capitalize off the moment, people are done caring.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Absolutely embarrassing.



I still remember this dude asking me if I was trying to be white because I said I needed to study for a test for an upcoming class

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

How would vouchers make it worse?

Taking kids out of public = less funds for the ones left behind

Cause why should my tax payer dollars go towards a private school or charter?

If the parents want to send their kids to them schools, by all means they can. But it shouldnt be off our means

At the end of the day, it's just another loophole for cacs to have their cake and eat it too. Segregate from black people, receive public funding, and not be held to the same regulations as public schools

Are we sure it's not the non-fbas bringing it down
