"If I get one more complaint from one more JEW in this community..."
That's the part that's gonna get him fired.
That line alone had the person recording go:

It’s irresponsible to say this in a vacuum. There are a plethora of nuances that must be considered for this to even make sense are be pertinent to the discussion.
And the first link didn’t validate your points listed in your post…. Didn’t read the other links because of that.
14% proficient in math isNot really commenting directly on what you said, but I'm almost sure you're from or have lived in Pittsburgh, so I pulled up this craziness on Google.
"Pittsburgh Obama 6-12 is an above average, public, magnet school located in PITTSBURGH, PA. It has 832 students in grades 6-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 14 to 1. According to state test scores, 14% of students are at least proficient in math and 41% in reading."
"Overview of Pittsburgh Obama 6-12The school's minority student enrollment is 82%. The student-teacher ratio is 14:1, which is worse than that of the district. The student population is made up of 56% female students and 44% male students. The school enrolls 100% economically disadvantaged students."
Those numbers encompass all students; not just minorities. But FOURTEEN PERCENT PROFICIENT IN MATH?! Now, "minority" covers a whole lot of people, but I had family that went to Obama, I've been to 2 of their graduations, and "minority" is mainly us.
Like you said, it's up to us to prioritize our focus. As of now, education isn't the focus.
it’s funnyYou make it sound easy.
Just teach and say a couple of inspiring words, that's all you gotta do brehs.
That sounds all good, what y’all going to do with bad parents^^^MESSAGE^^^
Exactly. I got my ass BEAT when the teachers complained that I was talking in class.
Never a problem after I got the belt
Yea but teachers cannot do that for schools filled with wayward kids. That’s the point.
Teachers used to step up for the kids who were falling in between the cracks, and that was admirable.
But now you have schools filled with kids falling in between the cracks. This is a COMMUNITY problem, not teacher problem.
We have shytty parents, overworked single parents, etc and the kids are the ones who suffer.
You can tell the kids who come from stable backgrounds. They’re usually the kids who got picked on if they were a little nerdy or a “teacher’s pet”
African American Literacy Statistics
June 5, 2023 by Danny McLoughlin
Literacy rates have been shown to be a key factor in determining outcomes of everything from the likelihood of going to prison. On the other hand, the conditions a person grows up in – such as the literacy rate of their parents and poverty – have a significant impact on a child’s chances of gaining reading proficiency.
The number of African American adults with low literacy skills has remained relatively stable since 1992.
The estimated literacy rate among African American adults (aged 15 and above) in the United States is approximately 88% as of 2020
While it was around 90% for White Americans.
The overall literacy rate in the United States is around 86%, making the African American adult literacy rate slightly higher than the national average
African American literacy rates have significantly improved over the past half-century, increasing from approximately 60% in the 1960s to the current rate of around 88%
Factors contributing to the improvement in African American literacy rates include increased educational access, improved educational quality, and government initiatives targeting socio-economic disparities and racial inequalities

that's why it's important to be around similar like minded people. That's naturally what you're going to gravitate towards. Hopefully the like mindedness are those who want to be successful.You can tell the kids who come from stable backgrounds.

lol. I know this is contextual. So is calling Black kids dummies. That's HELLA contextual as well. It's funny how you're supporting one contextual point and negating the other wholesale. But carry on.
We would never because then we would have no choice but to acknowledge the truth. Hell, there is a shyt ton of data out there that shows we are the lowest performing in education all throughout the country.
It’s sad because just like in this thread, only 1/4 of us will acknowledge the problem. Everybody will just want to ignore it and claim racism; like we didn’t all go to the same schools and saw our peers acting just like what the teachers described in the comments (a lot of people in here were those “peers”, though, so…)
This…… I don’t care how true it is the kids are but I’d be damn if I’m gonna co sign some cac.. Black folk need to stay on fukkin code period
I got beat like a muhfukka and it didn't have a positive effect on me at all. Built anger and resentment towards my parents and developed a violent streak, an unhealthy fear of my parents, nothing about that shyt was necessary...
