SPIN: Only 15% (Yes, not a typo) of black students are high school ready in San Francisco.

[Serious]

I’m so tired of caring about this shyt man.

We collectively we don’t even value our own life and legacy.

We gotta stop bringing kids in to this world that can’t afford or nurture.

This injustice starts at home.

The state / government can’t be the only place to teach children how to learn.

The state / schools aren’t day care centers.

We do our offspring a disservice in preparing them for life, when we bring them into this world unable to support them in healthy and productive ways to grow.

I’m just tired of it.

I’m tired of seeing black people with the worst statistics.

We literally have the worst outcomes in everything from health to educational attainment to wealth.

It’s always someone else’s fault. I’m tired of it….

Nope.

Black people respected education during segregation days because there was a point to it (i.e., Jobs with Black businesses)

When integration came Black kids were served up to white teachers who absolutely despised them and if you talk to some elderly Black people they'll tell you what happened. Kids became less interested in education because they faced overwhelming racial hostility from white teachers who hated them and wouldn't push them to do well (Whereas Black teachers would) and the Black business community was voluntarily destroyed due to it being abandoned.




What needs to be done but won't because it would require a nationwide reordering of priorities in "Black America" is to re-segregate economically so Black people can employ their own people and stop being in a position where they have to beg for jobs from their racial obstructors.

This is false. We are actually doing better now as far as education attainment. Segregation was not a positive. That is revisionist history.






Link-> 88% of Blacks Have a High School Diploma, 26% a Bachelor’s Degree



This is a current chart showing the difference in education attainment both between ourselves and relative to the greater white populous. We have the same increasing amounts both for highschool graduation and college participation now than we did prior to the 60s. And highschool drop outs have never been a lower portion of our population.


Seems like we have never valued education more than we currently do.

Why? It just means Latina or Latino

It’s ignorant as hell. The language is already broken down by gender. This is not used in Latin America. It’s not used amongst Hispanics. It’s disturbing and the exact reason why they are increasingly turning away from the Democratic Party. Only Hispanics using that shyt grew up in America and have blue dye in their hair

I think these numbers in particular have been tampered with...

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Are black kids in other countries not high school ready?
It's not that these kids are dumb, but they're from a dumb environment.

To my understanding it's similar in Canada and the UK as well.

Not ready but able to pass high school. Is this based on a test to go to highschool?

What is NCLB?
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support in 2001 and was signed into law by President George W. Bush on Jan. 8, 2002, is the name for the most recent update to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The NCLB law—which grew out of concern that the American education system was no longer internationally competitive—significantly increased the federal role in holding schools responsible for the academic progress of all students. And it put a special focus on ensuring that states and schools boost the performance of certain groups of students, such as English-language learners, students in special education, and poor and minority children, whose achievement, on average, trails their peers. States did not have to comply with the new requirements, but if they didn’t, they risked losing federal Title I money.

Black folks stay on joke time and priorities are messed up, other races are more worried about education rather than if the kid got on name brand or not

 

[CashmereThoughts]

its San Francisco with a non existent black middle class. I would bet that 90 percent of these kids households are below the poverty line and for that reason they don't have parents actively involved in their education. Im not surprised.

Black Folks are behind in general but SF is not any example of what's typical in the black community
