[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if you've got some explanation for DC's achievement gap other than generational poverty, I'm all ears. Maybe you have some insight that others don't have. Make a list for us.[/quote] Obviously generational poverty (caused by racism btw) is part of the achievement gap. But not all poor black kids have awful families, and many of them do well and care about their kids and school. My objection is to the screed by the OP basically declaring all black families and kids in her child's school as ignorant and abusive and uneducable alongside her own child. [/quote]
