Ralph Yarl, the Missouri teen who was shot after ringing the wrong doorbell, has spoken out for the first time in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Uh....standardized tests have zero bearing on if you will graduate and be successful. That is why many schools don't use it for admission, as they did long before the invention of the SAT and ACT
I have been traveling all day. I have not read a single post in this thread so I might be providing an opinion already addressed.
My first thought when reading that the Supreme Court ended affirmative action is:
"Why wasn't the rich white person's affirmative action (legacy & donor admissions) ended also?"
I am all for that but I am sure most of those people are the same Hillary and Barack liberals. They always carve out a niche for them first before they give out their generous handouts.
That's absolutely insane. They literally answer 1/2 as many correct; the average Asian income is also 2x as high as the average black income. This obvious IQ gap causes income gaps.
Standardized tests are poor predictors of college graduation.
Students’ high-school grade point averages are five times stronger than their ACT scores at predicting college graduation, according to a new study from the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research.
Today's Supreme Court decision is a direct attack on Black people. No Black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system which is exactly why affirmative-action based programs were needed. Today's decision is a TRAVESTY!!!
That's absolutely insane. They literally answer 1/2 as many correct; the average Asian income is also 2x as high as the average black income. This obvious IQ gap causes income gaps.
And the democrats wonder why there are scarcity of blacks in computer programming and engineering. You need at least 90th percentile minimum on math section of the SAT for those occupations. That is the lowest. But they don't want to fix things. Democrats in cahoots with public school teachers to limit charter school openings in NYC. There are charter schools almost exclusively of black kids that are hitting scores out of park. Higher than students at top public schools in rich neighborhoods. Their parents have to sign a contract that they will have their kids do all the required school work or else they're shown the door quickly. Hard work pays off for everyone but democrats will continue to lie about racism. It's their systematic lies that have handicapped blacks.
Charters and school choice are pretty much the only way out. Of course, these charters also tend to have far higher rates of parental involvement and the kids also tend to be more curious and value school more. It's a bit of 'chicken and egg' scenario but yeah, that does explain the gap. I can only think of about 4 black people I've worked with at my company, and 3 were African-born; Timnit Gebru is sort of the epitome of this - a great AI scientist (legitimately one of the best in the current generation) but Ethiopian born

"Parents have to sign a contract." What happens to the other students? When they are shown the door where do they end up?
By the way the scores these kids are hitting are not higher than the best schools- the schools where students need to take tests to get into, the tests that parents say are racist.
