[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]
Meh, I'm Asian and grew up UMC. My parents definitely valued education, but they were generally uninvolved in our lives. We all got good grades, but I'm doubtful if they knew most days whether we finished our homework or got a bad grade (which we all rarely did). We just happened to grow up in a financially stable environment where it was obvious that our parents' education contributed to our success and we saw them constantly reading and learning. My dad still practices medicine in a field where most of his cohort has retired, because he continued to educate himself and stayed up late nights getting certified in new techniques long after most of his friends were happy to coast. You learn a lot about the value of education when you see your parent come home after a 10 hour day and crack open textbooks and study into the late hours of the night.

My point? All these communities value education because education has enabled them to be successful. You don't need to ride your kids to have them understand the value of education. Kids from communities that haven't historically had as much access to education or seen how it can lead to financial success don't have the same incentives to become educated.[/quote]
