Academic performance in Oakland schools is dismal, especially for black and Latino kids. Only 17% of black kids are at grade level in English, and for math it’s only 11%. You hear more talk about “equity” in this district than just about anywhere, and this is the outcome.
@LauraPowellEsq I bet they score high in Black History and Gender Studies 🤔
@LauraPowellEsq @THEPERFOURMER has something insightful to add no doubt. 🙄 #PartyofSlavery
@LauraPowellEsq Kids shouldn’t be forced to go to govt prison schools
@LauraPowellEsq People cannot rely on schools anyways. Schools cannot even keep up with the current curriculum, much less help students think and get ahead of future social needs. All students need to learn how to self-learn.
@LauraPowellEsq 💯Correct. Lowering standards & showering them with false praise, cripples them!! That’s the magic about education - it’s the ticket out of poverty! The Grades Don’t Care - about color, sex, nationality, net worth… the grades don’t care, Only what you learn and can apply!
@LauraPowellEsq The issues have to be addressed at the early primary grades. After that it’s a really tough game of catch up which for some will be successful, but for most will not, for a variety of reasons.
@LauraPowellEsq @RonColeman @SecCardona @WhiteHouse This is why our Education Secretary should be impeached next.
@LauraPowellEsq Anything to avoid looking deeper at the root causes/ root questions to find real solutions.
@LauraPowellEsq @Theo_TJ_Jordan What are the results for black & latino students across the years?
