[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the parents at low performing schools just cared more, those schools would improve. How about encouraging that? Instead, this just sounds like another rehash of "white man's burden". Seriously, woke people, this has been done, and that’s where this road will lead you.[/quote] 
This is not true putting the burden on families is not understanding the problem. Systematically over generations schools with children of color have lacked resources. My grandparents and parents received a subpar education. Then add in the implicit bias that teachers have against children of color this starts in PreK they have studies about this. Society has low expectations of children of color. As a POC I have to constantly monitor the way teachers treat my children and ensure that they don’t assume that education is not a priority for us. White families do not experience this and in fact if you put your child in what you call a low performing school changes are they will be challenged and benefit for stereotypes association with Whitt families valuing education.
