re: Black students in Mississippi are now significantly outperforming black Wisconsin students

I’m not crawfishing on anything. In the last thread on this I argued that the progressive NE and Midwest institutions will never acknowledge equality of their southern peers and God forbid they out perform them.

I’ve been a huge proponent of using the older teaching methods for math and science that have decades of proven results and are significantly cheaper to run, supply, and institute. I’ve railed on here against the explosion in staff as opposed to teachers at schools. I’ve condemned and criticized the rampant wasteful spending by public schools in LA and nationwide ever since I signed up on TD in 2016 (I think).

My stance hasn’t changed on this site nor in this thread. You’re the one deflecting from your take that numbers are cooked/inflated/fabricated, that this is some vast governmental conspiracy to *checks posts* prop up the states that are spending less per student, and to make the red states look better than the blue states.

That’s ridiculous! It makes no sense to make that adjustment. They are outright saying that LA has too many black, blacks are stupid, so let’s adjust the scores. Liberal racist bullshite on display

Couldn’t agree more.

MS focuses heavy on reading in elementary school if you cannot pass the test in third grade you are not allowed to progress and are held back.

Adjusted for demographics eh……..I still don’t believe it. But, certainly like seeing improvement.

I was not a fan of our current governor, but he has been doing a lot of great things with brining in jobs and in education.


On a bad note, he just signed a bill that will hurt our first responders and educators with the new 35 year retirement plan. It was 30 years before they changed it this year.

Well, if they've done the adjusting consistently over the years and thr scores have risen, that is showing improvement.

I think adjusting and weighting is ridiculous also, but I want this to be good news.

Was this data from public schools only?

now do Asians.

49 and 50.

Always our rankings, on seemingly everything.

Honestly, if we could get public education fixed in our State, we could attract more jobs.

never said the black students were cheating. I said the educators were and it was plenty of motivation for the department of education bureaucrats to look the other way. You must've failed fifth grade reading comprehension.

So let me get this straight.


You think it’s more plausible that the entire state of Mississippi has a grand cheating scheme that everyone except the students is in on and taking part in rather than black students bettering themselves and learning the material once it has been presented in a better way.


And you have deluded yourself into believing you aren’t racist. You are making it clear that you think they are completely incapable of learning.

Mississippi doesn't have near the numbers of liberal white women out to "protect" blacks by enacting the very policies that ensure blacks are doomed to failure.
