[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I think the w's are the most overrated.  When I read about why people like them so much, it seems to be that there are fewer farms kids to "distract" the affluent kids. But, these schools seem to have bigger problems with drugs and suicide.

Meanwhile, out in the real world, [b]black women are the most educated demographic in our country[/b] and yet they are among the least likely to be promoted. Something doesn't add up here. I don't think people of color (more likely to be farms) is what's holding your kids back. [/quote]

Really? What a pleasant surprise. Seriously had no idea. Do you have a link?[/quote]

DCUM PROTOCOL:

It didn’t happen, it’s not true, it’s a lie and/or it’s made up unless a link to a source is provided. [/quote]

Why are you being defensive? This is good news especially since it completely debunks the notion that Asian Americans are the most educated group in the US. If there's a study that shows otherwise, great.[/quote]

I figured people here knew how to use Google, but here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/black-women-become-most-educated-group-in-us-a7063361.html%3famp

If you don't like this sourcing, google it yourself and find another. [/quote]
That number includes associate degrees.  I'm not sure that really counts. My sister got an associate degree in secretarial school a looooong time ago. She would not call herself "educated". And I'm sure you are aware, but not all degrees are equal.  And I say this as someone who went to a B rated state univ.

Also, as a whole, Asian Ams. are the most educated - that includes men and women.  But, if you split it out by gender and race, then that's a different story.

However, regardless, that is really really good news.   Certainly, black women are much more educated than black men.[/quote]

Yes, you can cut statistics many ways to say many things. Your last comment was unnecessary. White women are also more educated than white men.

White students also use drugs and commit suicide at higher rates than minorities.  The fact remains that if you are a wealthy white family, your kids will excel in any school.  The difference is the environment.  Whiter environments are usually deemed by white parents to be better. But that is entirely subjective, depending on what you think is "better", and I think that w's are overrated because "lots of whites and asians" doesn't fit with my perception of "better." [/quote]
? I mentioned that last statement because the thread was about educated black women.  You are reading too much into that statement.

In any case, I am not a defender of W schools. We aren't in those clusters.  [/quote]
