Kid slaps teachers hand, calls him a ‘cracker’ - Teacher is arrested

1) Which narrative?

3) To which study are you referring (there's no study in any of my quotes)?
4) Is success in school a "cultural" issue, or an equity issue?

Thanks.

Serious question: do you understand what "ethnicity" means?

How many different ethnic groups are in each of these specific countries/continents?

I’m a teacher in Canada and a member of several different Facebook groups for teachers, most of whom are American. Every day I read multiple posts about the horrific behaviour of kids in school; when you consider that so many teachers in the US need a second job because of how little they get paid, I can’t believe anyone would go into this profession in your country, I’m sorry to say.

1. The narrative that racial disparities within the schooling system are only a function of poverty.
2. Following that line of logic, success markers (such as SAT scores) would be consistent among all racial groups when controlled for income levels. They're not, even the poorest of of white students, on average, do better than black students of all income levels
3. https://www.jbhe.com/features/49_college_admissions-test.html Sorry, I must have hit send before finishing my post. This is the study I was referring to.
4. I don't know what you mean by an "equity" issue, but I think that these disparities have much more to do with culture than just income level. Yes, poorer students on average, do worse than their more wealthy peers, but there's a reason why some racial groups do better than others, and I think it has much more to do with how they were raised than their income.

Teachers get paid plenty, in fact they're overpaid, considering they're babysitters who just push Leftist prop all day. The problem is that government education was overrun with Democrats, with a Democrat controlled union, that supports criminals, and criminal behavior from students, and ever more dumbed down teaching standards, and Democratic policies in economics and social policies that destroy the ability of any one paycheck (much less teachers) to support anyone. Just do the opposite of every Democrat idea, and cities, states, and the nation would flourish.

Was the teacher being salty?

You cannot read. Brooklyndan gave us this surprising lineup & analysis. (Hint: not on a map.)

Reverse this. White kid calls black teacher the N word and teacher drags kid out of classroom. Teacher gets suspended and riots begin.

Do you have a go fund me page for your victim status?

So that's not a narrative that I promoted at all.

Again, what line of logic? What you're employing is known as a "fallacy".

Where'd that study come from? It wasn't what was being discussed.

Equity meaning having the necessary resources needed to provide the same opportunities that others have.

Your last point is both another fallacy and egregiously racist, but it should be addressed. If the issue is race, why are Nigerian-Americans the most successful ethnic group in the U.S.? Why do 29% of Nigerian-Americans hold a graduate degree compared to 11% of the overall U.S. population?

These are fairly racist statements, as they imply that all of the difference is due to skin color.I'd like to see your "facts", in particular adjusted for socio-economic status.

Some people are so afraid to mention race if it implies something negative about minorities. And they don't think clearly (such as this last poster) if someone else does it.

I mentioned statements of fact but I never implied it WASN'T due to social-economic factors.

Do you really think me saying a black area has a higher crime rate is racist. And don't you think a school in a higher crime area would have more discipline problens???

It's funny how fearful people are of saying anything remotely about race.

A simple "no" would have answered the question effectively and efficiently.

Probably because those same people know that the color of your skin has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to perform or be successful.

Rather, systematic discrimination, racism, bigotry, and chronic and acute disadvantages curtail people who may otherwise be successful.

Truest statement on this thread.

I don't disagree although I don't know what factors are the most causative or if there are other factors too. I do know many will call someone racist if they state black school on average have more discipline problems than white schools. I hope you are smart enough not to do this.

THE IQ Argument is a bunch of baloney, if you study hard your grades will be good, if you don't they will not be good, EVERYBODY is born with BASICALLY the same Intelligence.

As you wish:
No, you cannot read.

Your argument is just as valid in the sport of running, which is to say that it's not valid at all.

If it were true that everyone were born with basically equal athletic potential, then we are left to assume that their relative failings are attributable to their failure of application. In this case, if we endeavor to measure the differences between people on the basis of their athletic achievement, we are rebuked for implying that they are lazy or stupid, claims that extend far beyond the scope of the hard data, which serves not to present a value judgment, but only to demonstrate those disparities.

Again, the "IQ argument," as you call it, encompasses genetic, environmental and cultural factors. However, the general "argument" presents this information as a basis for comprehending the differences between people of different genetic, environmental and cultural persuasion, not for discounting their potential for improvement. Ultimately, this form of analysis offers an unadulterated insight into the present intellectual state. Just as the present world standings are likely to change, albeit undramatically in terms of national representation, pivotal shifts in culture, environment and even hereditary qualities, over the long run, can collectively transform segments of a species. The purpose of analytics is to evaluate outcomes and isolate variables in order to improve understanding of where we are today and how manipulation of those variables, with attending tradeoffs, can alter future course.

It is true that a limited number of steps can be followed for massive improvements to be made. As you say, "if you study hard, your grades will be good." In this sense, the purpose of analytics is to determine why some people fail to practice those habits before they fail to produce those results.
