[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to public (state) schools with diverse populations. I distinctly remember that in nearly every class, roughly half of the AAs were getting terrible grades. They would do poorly on tests, rarely do homework and end up with Ds and Fs. Yes, some AAs would do well. And some kids from other races would do poorly, but there was clearly a disparity.

Was it because AAs are less intelligent? No. You don't have to be smart to get good grades in a public K-12. You just have to study and do your homework! Why is it that some kids study and do their homework, and others do not? The answer is because their parents force them to! That is THE reason. Kids do not naturally want to study or do homework. You have to pressure them. Jewsish, Asian and UMC White kids are forced to do their homework and study. Their parents check their homework EVERY DAY and if they get bad grades, there is hell to pay. They ride their kids' asses for their entire childhood to make sure that they get good grades and get into decent schools because they know that this is hugely important. I can't express enough how much of a difference there is between a typical Jewish/Asian/UMC White household an a typical AA/Latino/Poor White household when it comes to the expectations that they put on their children for education.[/quote]

So you're saying that kids learn to study and do their homework from their parents, who presumably learned it from their parents, who presumably learned it from theirs, who presumably learned it from theirs, and so on and so forth.  In other words, what happened generations ago still continues to affect kids today.  Huh.[/quote]

That's probably true for UMC/Affluent Whites. I don't think that is necessarily true of Asians and Jews. Most of them were poor/working class when they came to the US and were typically not even allowed into good schools, or were subjected to quotas. The difference is that Asians and Jews feel like they can make a difference in their lives if they work hard. I think AAs often have a defeatist attitude about things, which has a negative impact on motivation and resilience when working toward long-term goals. And yes I recognize that centuries of slavery are probably a major factor here. The Holocaust, as awful as it was, did not last for generations (although violent persecution of Jews has been around for millennia) I have noticed that non-AA Africans (born in Africa) are as successful as other cultures.[/quote]
