[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Black schools do get the worst teachers and no supplies. The entire point of the npr piece is that if there are not enough white kids in a school, the school will never get the kind of resources and quality teachers and attention it needs. [/quote] Why do black schools get worst resources? I'm sure they don't open a school with this in mind. Because students fail, no one wants to invest into failure, waste resources. I remember a story I read or heard about a program designed by Harvard educators where they took kids from impoverished neighborhood by lottery and put them through this rigourous program with best teachers. The kids improved significantly. But only as long as they were in the program. When they graduated and went to colleges most of them dropped out.[/quote]
