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

[Tommy Knocks]

So how do they explain Asian households, where it is authoritarian but their children are generally still doing well?

fukk outta here with this wack ass thread. That principal is an idiot. Not everything is always fukking black and white, like no other groups of people live in this country that will skew her dumbass assertion.

asian parents are only hard on their kids when it comes to school. outside of the school they spoil the fukk out of their children.

black parents rule with a hard fist and give their kids nothing.

nikka be glad to even get money to go to the mall and buy clothes over the summer. moms talkin about whats wrong with the clothes from last year. asian kid gets handed a credit card.

My Black dad was hard on me but my Asian mom spoiled me. All she wanted me to do good in school and pops would usually put me on some life lessons game and gave me some good advice on girls and shyt.

Told me not to fukk with no Asian girls, and made me promise not to tell mom.

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

I agree.. there's no real actual way to verify if what she said is true.

Do you mean verify how authoritarian parenting affects academic/intellectual growth?

You'd need to do a longitudinal study and she didn't do that. A mother in the hood can't have "patience" trying to teach her kids about life because one time in the hood could be the last. I know many of you won't understand, though. It's a resource/money/environment thing more so than the parenting style because the latter is subordinate to those three factors.

They don't have the time either because they were working like three jobs too.

its not race based...

the problem is the allocation of resources...theres a reason why schools in impoverished areas dont do as well as schools in more affluent areas...

black kids who go to schools in affluent areas still lag behind whites and asians. why is that?

nikka, I already answered this a million times but so you might understand it better...

I favor integration on buses and in all areas of public accommodation and travel. ‘I am for equality. However, I think integration in our public schools is different. In that setting, you are dealing with one of the most important assets of an individual: the mind. White people view black people as inferior. A large percentage of them have a very low opinion of our race. People with such a low view of the black race cannot be given free rein and put in charge of the intellectual care and development of our boys and girls.’ - MLK Jr

Son. Did you even read the article.

This is A PART of a child's upbringing and ability to achieve, not all of it.

I have peers who were literally just UNAWARE of the fact they could talk to teachers and ask for the ability to do little shyt like postponing tests, asking for extensions, talking to them about job opportunities etc.

I knew people who were scared to even talk to their teachers or other adults and taught to ALWAYS fall in line.

I totally agree with this. I had to tell my nephew to talk to his professor to get answers for test/quiz questions he missed. He would literally just fail, go home and try to understand the material on his own and fail some more. First semester GPA was 2 something, last semester he pulled a 3.7 and made the dean's list.

when martin luther king jr was alive, blacks were faring a hell of a lot better in ALL aspects of live, their struggles in the arena of civil rights notwithstanding. so, to use his quote as a basis for your rebuttal of my argument is kind of amusing.

You're an idiot. The quote is still relevant today. A Black kid from wealth is still going to be surrounded by White kids, White professors, white cultural/social norms at a White institution. Furthermore, a White professor is more likely to go out of their way and empathize, help a White student than they are some negro. International kids don't have that problem because they come from a homogenous environment and when they attend university that rigidity is already set.

 

[Rawtid]

I've already argued the former, breh. Resources and money = achievement. The latter was just to dead the whole, well Blacks need to dead that parenting style.

Bullshyt.

 

[Poitier]

Bullshyt.

You have no fukking clue on what you're talking about. Stick to money management.

You don't need money to create a household where education is valued.Once a child values learning a lot things will fall into place.

That's literally an infinitesimal part of the equation. You can't control what happens outside of the home's surrounding environment and at the school, both of which are dependent on money and resources.
