Most schools are still segregated though. And studies consistently show that black kids in racially diverse schools objectively perform better. And the reason for that is more about how poverty and school funding works than kids' attitudes or whatever.

I dont feel like going through 12 pages but has anybody posted her ig yet? 
This hit home for me. My middle school encouraged us to take the high school standardized test (so they could get the money something like 10k per student that passes) I passed my state requirements in middle school so by time I got to high school the counselors could care less what classes I took. By time I got to college I was so behind in math I had to take developmental math because I didn’t take algebra since middle school smh.
I also realized black children are also at an disadvantage in certain public schools because were taught to memorize and study test questions all day to pass a test. Meanwhile, white kids are taught to understand concepts and overall enrichment which is really how you’re suppose to learn especially when you hit college.

You know how many speeches teachers like that gave us.
"Motivation."
"I know you can do better."
"Your scores shouldn't be seen as a failure."
Reality is that people don't like the hard way if they can help it and only change and improve out of necessity.
My lil cousin didn't like to read until he realized he needed to understand what the video games were saying.
My sister didn't like counting money growing up until she realized what money can do.
For me, getting free pizza at pizza hut and being #1 on AR test motivated me a lot.
That and my dad used to erase my entire page of homework when I got one thing wrong.
that man was ruthless.

Username to post ratio is on point
Blaming teacher's unions is as stupid as can be.
**Can be.
Emphasis on test scores dictates who can get into gifted and talented classes - but I went to school in a fairly large city and my gifted classes were majority Black - even in a majority white elementary school.
The other two gifted schools were much more segregated.
