What this really means is that black teachers go in and teach the kids what they already know so that they can actually pass the course. Thus, the illusion of progress. No one with any government influence wants to say that discrimination plays no part in the differences between predominately white and black school districts. They would rather take our money and throw it at inept administrators in the hopes they can improve student test scores. With that attitude, it will never happen.
Students often succeed or fail because of the influence from their respective communities.
Asian students are usually the best students because their culture places great emphasis on education and discipline. Black students are usually the worst students because their culture places great emphasis on malt liquer, fried chicken, and seeing how many children they can father by age 21. Yes, this is a vast generalization and there are exceptions to every rule. I m suggesting that being smart and studying is not the most popular thing for black students to do now. My best freind in high school was black.
