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

[Pazzy]

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

Why dont you tell us what your background is @BaggerofTea like since you like to speak about communities you arent a part of and never grew up in. Uppity boule negro punching down on other black people he thinks hes so better than because his family income bracket from his well off virginia community. yall cosigning this housenegro speaking from his gated community. you need to stfu because your narcissistic ass doesnt know what youre talking about. Its always the ones punching down talking shyt.

I see some of yall got the same self hatred issues this goof got. Ready to join in along with the ignorance this goofy has and not putting other factors into account for why this is. I cant...

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

It all starts with parents
Bad schools and teachers can't hold down a student who wants to learn
Kids need to look out for their friends too
I tutored a lot of my friends growing up
Some even performed better than me years later

Don’t wanna sound like a c00n but the black community in general doesn’t prioritize education.

Also we love trends and what’s cool and being smart/education/reading has never been cool.


In a couple generations the divide between educated and uneducated black people is gonna be huge and I feel like it’s gonna lead to a lot of internal problems


The black kids who grew up reading, mom a social worker, dad an accountant or some shyt, in college for engineering or whatever… other than being black what are they really gonna have in common with their less educated peers in the future?
Nothing


The shows/movies they watch are probably gonna be different, and their folks are probably gonna have them listening to different music. They’re gonna be in different activities too. Let’s just be fr

For real. Like how white folks got separated by class and values, same shyt gonna happen to black folks. Negativity is gaining ground in every aspect in society, and we damn near need a divine intervention to raise kids well

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 should 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

Schools are paid for with the local tax base. That's why there's already an imbalance in funding and that's never going away.

Vouchers would allow black people to start more of our own schools. Where at the very least, the school to prison pipeline would not he an issue.

Babe, more like in one generation. That day is practically here.


I said it before on here- a line is being drawn in the sand.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

not surprised and here come the excuses

I seeing stats for California and these black kids levels was two times below the average

That's a given

 

[concise]

I’m pretty sure the teens in the Reconstruction to Jim Crow era were reading higher than a 4th and 5th grade level.

No.



People used to completely drop out of school before high school all the time in those days.

 

[Brolic]

Considering my great grandfather and other relatives from then had a 3rd grade education I'm curious where your numbers are from

I’m talking about the ones who actually went high school.

 

[Silver Surfer]

This is why I do homework with my kids

 

[RamsayBolton]

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

dont even remind me

i got so much shyt for reading books or speaking in full sentences

We don't need to start schools. Waste of money at best, siphoning money from public schools at worst

Schools get local tax as revenue but also federal funding. Majority of black kids go to a title 1 school. Especially here in the black belt where theres not many of us above the poverty line.

Folks always were shocked and Low-key jealous I always paid for my own lunch during school cause pretty much everybody was on free lunch

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.

If you learned about systemic racism then your parents never needed to tell you "it held us back," that conclusion is easily observable from the environment and using basic logic. If someone has a good headstart, you will have a hard time catching up, and they can continually out perform you generation after generation especially if they control your environment.

Learning about racism/white-supremacy gives you the tools to navigate this environment. We will always be diminished because we do not control it, but we can definitely put ourselves in a better position by understanding how groups practice anti-Blackness.

Giving a quick modern example of how we are held back:

County assessors raise taxes on predominantly Black neighborhoods while keeping property taxes low in White neighborhoods. And even when Black homeowners realize this and appeal they either lose or aren't given the right tax rate.

I keep saying it. Pick your partner carefully. It's this way because smart people favored making relationships and kids with other smart people for generations.

If someone chooses a partner because they're attractive yet happen to be an airhead, their kid is cooked. That's why America looks the way it does. There are a lot of good-looking people, but a lot of really fukking dumb people who get mentally outclassed by kids who have two Engineers as parents.

Someone's wife looks great with a figure 8 body, but is dumb and they have sons. Now what? Your son has a figure 8 body while someone else's son is a genius. That's how you lose a generation and fall behind exponentially.

This problem won't go away overnight or anytime soon. Like those people I mentioned earlier, they set it up over generations of discipline.

Big truth.

Black kids don't take education seriously. Any black person that went to a primary black school would tell you the same. It's the same concept in England and Canada to my understanding. Black kids more focused on being "real" and trying to look cool. Black kids in the west, generally speaking, don't take education seriously. Cats embarrassing themselves globally, hate to see it.

In england, black kids of direct african descent (often their parents were born there), take education very seriously, they outperform white brits in spite of being lower income, dealing with racism etc


The situation is a little bit different for black people of carribean descent though, but theres a reason for that. They came to the UK first, and had to deal with not given housing, systematically (incorrectly) labelled as medically retarded, etc (the same shyt african americans are going through to this day)

Black brits of direct african descent didnt have to deal with this because the carribeans fought in the streets to make such systematic racism illegal

GCSE results (Attainment 8)

In the 2021 to 2022 school year, pupils from the Chinese ethnic group had the highest Attainment 8 score out of all ethnic groups (66.1 out of 90.0).
