I never felt like I was sacrificing sending my kids to these schools. I honestly feel like I got very lucky.
Neither did the worthless piece of LWNJ trash until her daughter called the out. You have the education and intelligence of a fence post, unfortunately your kids probably do too.

Whats the ACT score of your oldest child? If that hasn’t been taken yet you have no idea where your child is academically.

Public school is superior to a private school? What state are we talking about?

MAIS schools where white kids can play? MRA beat Catholic high last year in football. A school with 450 boys and girls in HS beat a team with over 1000 boys in the school. MRA got beat 40-0 in the first round of the MAIS playoffs.
MAIS baseball had a first round pick out of high school in the last 3 drafts. Ex. ( Konnor Griffin 24) 2026 draft had 3 players drafted in top 101 picks.
Louisiana has not had a first round pick out of HS in my lifetime.

“I never really got the education I wanted.”
And Hannah-Jones had to agree, telling her daughter, “I feel like you got cheated” and admitting in the essay she may have “failed” her daughter.
MAY have failed your daughter? Um... yeah. That's a pretty solid yes.

I understand exactly where that young lady is coming from. I didn't have a sophomore year of high school as such due to being one of the 70 some-odd white children attending Belle Chasse High School in the 1966-67 year.

What makes you say that? Pretty emotional take from a supposedly pragmatic man.

quote:I'll take your word for it. I don't know anything about her, other than what was posted in the OP. I didn't even read the article, tbh.
Cubs, Nikole Hannah-Jones is an educated moron. She is a selfishly egocentric imbecile with a degree. The woman is devoid of any ability to conduct critical reasoning. Literally.
quote:None of this surprises me. She writes for the NYT, after all.
Meanwhile, the Hannah-Jones's are multimillionaires. She grew up attending majority white schools, followed by NotreDame and UNC. He enjoys access and privilege at levels the average Ghanan could not even imagine, much less attain.
quote:What I find most surprising/sad is that she KEPT her child at the school after seeing that it was failing because it was poorly run, not because poor kids or black kids went there.
Which brings us roundabout to the comparison you drew with your kids schooling versus that of Hannah-Jones. The school Hannah-Jones singled out for her daughter to attend was just 56% Black. That wasn't the rationale for the choice to send her daughter there. The rationale was, the school was underperforming. That, rather than racial make-up, is the equation in this instance!
quote:Absolutely not! I'm extremely involved in my kids' schools. I talk with their teachers frequently. I was even friends with my daughter's current teacher before he became a teacher (and I'm all but certain he asked for her to be in his class because she's so well-behaved and bright). I would never keep my kids in a failing school. Or, if I had to for some reason, I would ensure they got the support they needed outside of school to excel academically. I don't know what these people were thinking or hoping to accomplish by cheating their daughter out academic rigor and support like this.
Given the choice that Hannah-Jones had, would you ever electively choose to send your children to a horribly underperforming school? Further, if you elected to conduct such an experiment with your child/children, would you allow them to proceed 10 years without having a clue as to how woefully far behind they were as a result of your choice.
quote:Heartbreaking.
In this instance, the daughter thought she "loved" math because she was so "good" at it. The catch is she was never given homework, and answers on tests were never assessed. The teachers did not bother. So the girl thought she was a mathematics savant, while in fact, she was slipping substantially below grade level in competency. How parents could continue down that path for years, claiming to be "unaware," is something neither you nor I can begin to comprehend.
quote:I posted my experience to illustrate that racially diverse or majority-black schools don't always equal underperforming schools.
So, no, I don't believe there is any comparison at all between the situation of your children's schooling and that of Hannah-Jones.

What good is that going to do for you child? Do you really think you can change an entire education system that is corrupt and failing with sending your child there?

Define majority not white because that's a very intentional choice of words and I don't think it's an accident

Parental involvement and the overall attitudes towards education by the parents plays far more in the success/failure of a school compared to how the school is actually ran.
The failure is on the parents, not the school itself in the hyper majority of cases.
