re: Alabama places 'failing' label on majority black schools only

Every race on the face of this earth has been through some shite somewhere. Blacks are not the only enslaved race on this planet. Their experience is more recent than most, but it does not make that race special or deserving of reparations or whatever. It is time to accept that and move on.

Blacks enslaved one another for profit in Africa, and they continue to enslave one another for profit in America. The so-called black leaders, such as Sharpton and Jackson on a national stage and local black pastors and politicians, have been taking bribes for decades in order to steer black votes towards a party that continues to suppress them at large.

Do whites take advantage of this now, as they did 200 years ago? You bet your arse.

Hillary Clinton could give a rip about blacks in this nation...but she will buy their votes (through the CBC) and then she will tell them as long as she is in office how oppressed they are and how she will fight for them...and nothing will change except easier access to money and programs that keep them down in the long run.

Racism most assuredly exists...but it is not by way of the white people that get accused of it all the time.

Are there racists rednecks out there. Yep...everywhere. However, they rarely have the influence or capacity to actually negatively affect a black person in actuality. White politicians on the other hand...they have that power. They buy that power from black "leaders" in many cases.

I grew up in a similar situation as this. There was only one school in the town that everyone went to. I can remember everyone in the school taking the same standardized test. The white kids in the school scored substantially higher than the black kids, and in response there was a lot of talk from the black community about the school being racist. One of my teachers, an elderly black woman that had transferred to my school from the East Baton Rouge Parish school system, one day absolutely went off on the black students in my class. She told them that the reason white kids scored higher then black kids on the test is the same reason the white kids in EBR score higher on tests. The majority of white kids care about there education and actually try and have parents that care while the majority of blacks don't care about there education, don't try, and have parents that don't care. She also stated that if you were embarrassed by your test scores then work harder and quit trying to use racism as an excuse. I thought that was really great advice from the lady, but of course the next day she had to apologize to the black kids in the class because they complained about what she said.

The only thing that I can think of that will work is take EVERYONES children at the age of 6 and put them in a military style and structured education system, away from their families with only weekend visits, holidays, etc. Let the teachers and disciplinarians do whatever they have to do to get all the kids on the same page. 12 years later you will see the first graduating class of all inclusive kids that were taught by the same teachers, spent the nights in the same dorms, ate at the same lunchroom tables, played sports on the same team, and on and on. This is the ONLY way that people will say that it's fair.

---

This is what they need to do with those "charter schools". I will more than happily donate to a military based boarding school for the "underprivileged"

You can't educate people who don't care about education. I imagine black folks with caring parents do better in school.

Schools have become surrogate parents.

How much money do these school districts spend per student in comparison to the white ones

---

Many of the failing schools are among the highest in spending per student. The localities won't support them, but they receive federal and state funding that places most of them in the top 30%-40% of school funding. The most highly funded school in the state is an all black school outside of Montgomery.

Reposting this because damn. Here is what the Birmingham City Schools did Alabama's 2015 Teacher of the Year when she transferred into an urban school to make a difference.

So she is too lazy to take the required courses to teach? I don't see her argument here. I mean, standards are needed, or you will have anyone with a degree trying to teach. Sounds like she refuses to progress with the times.

i can teach in any law school and many colleges

Primary school and secondary school: Where the teachers know teaching techniques but not the subjects.

Postsecondary School: Where the teachers know the subjects but not how to teach them.
