School Principal: Authoritarian Parenting Partly Responsible for Black/White Achievement Gap

[2Quik4UHoes]

You don't think there are morally lacking people with low social intelligence that achieve? I hear what you're saying but this article is BS because it's giving the parenting style a significant amount of credit for something that plays a small part in it. It shifts blame from underfunding Black households and places it mostly and solely on Black parents. Authoritarian parenting style is flawed yes, but the Permissive parenting style that White people employ is just as flawed, there isn't any specific race employing an Authoritative method.

Agreed, still it helps to have good parents. I think what's fukked up is its assumed all black parents are horrible or whatever when I'd say a majority want to see their kids do well.

Believe me, going to a White university was shocking to see the interaction with their parents. Calling them out of their names, spending all of their money without a care in the world, the lack of empathy and morals but as long as they got good grades!

I'm tired of this argument

Yeah, when I was younger I had a friend that was white. The shyt he'd say to his parents left me every time. The only important moral in America is gettin it.

There may be some truth to this , but I think ultimately early education is the best indicator for unlocking academic success/potential.

To me that's the most vital part of development. Honestly, I educate myself so much so when I do have kids I can school them early.

I think that parents should be their children's first/most important educators.

I've been saying this shyt for a long time. The parenting style most black people have comes from slavery. Back in those days you had to be authoritarian because for your child it meant life or death. That old slave shyt is played out. That's why I don't believe in corporal punishment.

Propaganda. Money and resources and those alone, are the only factors.

false. Achievement gaps exist even when black students are from the same socie-economic background.

The black-white test score gap does not appear to be an inevitable fact of nature. It is true that the gap shrinks only a little when black and white children attend the same schools. It is also true that the gap shrinks only a little when black and white families have the same amount of schooling, the same income, and the same wealth. But despite endless speculation, no one has found genetic evidence indicating that blacks have less innate intellectual ability than whites. Thus while it is clear that eliminating the test score gap would require enormous effort by both blacks and whites and would probably take more than one generation, we believe it can be done.
This conviction rests mainly on three facts:

--When black or mixed-race children are raised in white rather than black homes, their preadolescent test scores rise dramatically. Black adoptees' scores seem to fall in adolescence, but this is what we would expect if, as seems likely, their social and cultural environment comes to resemble that of other black adolescents and becomes less like that of the average white adolescent.

--Even nonverbal IQ scores are sensitive to environmental change. Scores on nonverbal IQ tests have risen dramatically throughout the world since the 1930s. The average white scored higher on the Stanford-Binet in 1978 than 82 percent of whites who took the test in 1932. Such findings reinforce the implications of adoption studies: large environmental changes can have a large impact on test performance.

--Black-white differences in academic achievement have also narrowed throughout the twentieth century. The best trend data come from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which has been testing seventeen-year-olds since 1971 and has repeated many of the same items year after year. Figure 1-2 shows that the black-white reading gap narrowed from 1.25 standard deviations in 1971 to 0.69 standard deviations in 1996. The math gap fell from 1.33 to 0.89 standard deviations. When Min-Hsiung Huang and Robert Hauser analyzed vocabulary scores for adults born between 1909 and 1969, the black-white gap also narrowed by half.

I know this hurts you little white negroes souls, but it's the culture, stupid.

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

Its not propaganda. Its pretty well documented.

Cultural upbringing WHICH INCLUDES how you are taught to treat children and interact with them has a significant impact on their ability to perceive their abilities and subsequently express themselves.

social intelligence and confidence in the classroom is something that can be cultivated by promoting curiosity and inquisitiveness.

guys like Walter E. Williams and Thomas Sowell have been saying this for years

The New York Times, great source. I'll be back with scientific journals when I get done eating.

being afraid of your parent isn't healthy tho. by the time they get into the rebelious years, its best to become their friends, they are changing mentally and physically, if you get on a buddy buddy level, they'll open up to you, tell you the shyt they're doing, whats going on rather than doing it behind your back. I prefer that method a lot better. grades ARE important.

I don't ever recall my mom asking me for my homework, only my report cards. I dont remember her asking to help with projects or assignments either. black parents think parenting is being the boss of the child, when there should actually be an open relationship.

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

Shouldn't take long for you to eat regurgitated shyt That's a study done by the brookings institute. Smart dumb cac should probably read instead of dismissing the source

My point is that achievement studies really don't equal being a good human being. My second point is that resources and money have much more to do with what's going on than parenting style. If you really want to get technical, it could be argued the hard on kids parenting style adopted by Blacks is a survival technique, since many of us came up in dangerous environments. This shyt simplifies it and furthermore, sources like The New York Times have been biased for years. I'll provide sources and let it sit over dinner but I'll be back in a few.

Most black families have no fathers so the mother thinks she has to act tough to gain respect.

people dapped this stupid ass shyt
