Behind what? If you take our top states, they perform as well as the top schools internationally -- many of which have selective populations taking the PISA and what not. |
All white people benefite from unearned white privilege, which is a result of systemic white racism, currently and historically. |
Correct. This statement is part of the bases of CRT. |
yes i’m aware of that. While this is true most white americans are not upper middle class and hyper educated the way white people in coastal cities make it out to be. What’s not clicking? |
Then if that’s the majority of american children are in fact behind academically and you just proved my point. The exceptions don’t make the rule. You are dense af. OMG. so many people on this board are insufferable. |
i meant if that’s the case. |
What you are missing is only whites benefit from unearned white privilege. Asians, meanwhile, suffer from discrimination and white supremacy in society, which is why they are unable to achieve the same academic and professional success as whites, and have far lower household incomes. |
| I’m pretty sure if you look at the parent, college educated individuals, the racial disparity diminishes significantly. We need to focus on ensuring all children have a good education. |

Here's another example of a third grade math problem kids are bombing:
https://nj.digitalitemlibrary.com/home?subject=Math&grades=Grade%203&view=CCSS&itemUIN=0190-M01039P Part A Ms. Williams asked Carlos and Sara to show different ways to find the value of this expression: 4×2×3 Carlos decided to multiply 2×3 first. Which expression shows what Carlos should multiply next to find the correct value of 4×2×3? A. 4×2 B. 4×3 C. 4×5 D. 4×6 Part B Sara explained the way she found the value of 4×2×3 as follows: Multiply 4×2. Multiply 4×3. Add the two products. Sara made a mistake. Describe Sara’s mistake. What is the correct value of 4×2×3? Enter your answer and your description in the space provided. |
No, you don't get it. The international comparisons have selective populations taking the test--often only the kids identified to continue on at college prep secondary schools take the test at 15. So that we have our whole population taking the test is an unfair comparison. So it makes sense to look at our stronger states--even better, look at how the top 50% of our scorers do--which is what most, though not all, of the PISA test taker do. |
According to Pew, in 2017, “The median annual income for Asian adults was $51,288, compared with $47,958 for whites, $31,082 for blacks and $30,400 for Hispanics.” |
That last sentence is all that should be in there. Why the F do I need to explain someone else’s mistake? |
| ^ By last sentence I meant “what is the correct answer to…” |
Is this based on that broken MCAP test that everyone fails even kids who compete in the AIME? |
| I don’t think $90k would be enough to compel me to want to teach in Baltimore City schools. |
