[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than spending time/effort explaining why blacks and Latino kids can't score high, why not teach them to take school seriously? It's pathetic how hard  people try to underscore Asian kids' accomplishments. [/quote]

You just spent time/effort explaining it yourself. Your explanation is [b]that they don't take school seriously. I wonder how you know that.[/b][/quote]

You can't be serious.  :) [/quote]

Yes, I'm serious. Please explain how you know that the reason that test scores for black/Latino kids tend to be lower is that black/Latino kids don't take school seriously.[/quote]

Not the PP but all you have to do is go to Kumon, MathWorks, or any of the after school supplemental study programs and look around.  An extra hour or 2 a day of studying is a good enough indicator of "serious" for me....[/quote]

I don't send my kids to Kumon, Mathworks, etc.  However, my kid is required to do IXL every night, but one.  Is that serious enough for you, or does one have to pay enormous amounts of money to take education serious :roll:[/quote]
