Racism: Failing now, failing tomorrow, failing forever

It's very telling to see how anxious these white boys are to avoid the subject of racist segregation in schools.

UH - How about the idea that when property values do down, which lower the amount of money going into the schools, that maybe a large segment of whites move out of that area; which then causes property values to fall even more?? :dunno:

But you go right ahead and continue to come to the conclusions that make you FEEL good.

You think racism might have something to do with white flight, white boy? :dunno:

In a certain sense, why should wealth matter with schools and schooling? In the past, plenty of highly educated people started out in one room school houses that would be deemed impoverished by our standards.

Well I hear what you're saying and Lincoln, the only US President that was a genius, had no formal education at all but let's just say that's hardly an ideal situation. Wealth matters because educational resources, particularly the human variety, matter a great deal. In terms of predicting a person career success the two best predictors of success are the quality of education and mentoring a person receives.

Now individuals do succeed without those advantages but more often than not they are the exception and not the rule.

That the OP is mistaking race for economic disparity? Well yes.

Well, no, Ohioan.

Here's the title of the study, which you and white boy Cawacky clearly haven't read:

Better Use of Information Could Help Agencies Identify Disparities and Address Racial Discrimination

When you and Cawack-off finish circle-jerking each other, it's here if you want to get a clue about what you're talking about: http://www.gao.gov/assets/680/676745.pdf

I'll understand if you don't.
 
we do have school choice down here in florida. schools are rated by test results, and graduation rates.
You can go to other schools if your local school is rated poorly (D or F letter grades) -and it does seem to help..

Also Florida has spent a ton more money then it used to on schools -but surprisingly money isn't always the metric..

It seems to be a combination of support by parents and teachers, and a culture of learning that is more helpful then anything-
although sufficient resources are needed too.
And there is also the over-reliance on testing itself,where schools teach to the test (by rote) rather then how to learn

Your anecdotal evidence unsupported by research is noted.
 
interesting..now they are talking about complete school choice:
++

.... House had passed its own, stripped-down school choice bill that also would allow parents to choose any school for their child, whether it was across town or across county lines.

The bills' choice provisions continue the Legislature's decade-long interest in providing families options outside a traditional, zoned public school. They would start in the 2017-18 school year.

The wide-open enrollment and sports provisions, however, worry some school board members, administrators and coaches. They fear it could dilute local tax money in districts where residents have agreed to pay more to help their local schools and could lead to the formation of "dynasty" sports teams at certain high schools.

The school choice measure would allow parents to pick any school in the state for their child, as long as there was room. Students under suspension or expulsion orders could not transfer, however, and parents would have to provide transportation unless the receiving school district decided to pick up those costs.

Currently, public school students, with few exceptions, must enroll in their county school district, with attendance at a particular school usually based on the their home address. Many Florida school districts allow choice within their systems, however, giving students options to select special programs based on academic offerings.

it's extremely complicated with charter and magnate schools too - I got no kids anywhere near school age, and my interest is merely "academic" (no pun intended) -so I am going
on memory rather then digging down.. that's the basic idea at least if not all the particulars
