that's the left on every issue clown car of tribalists and trolls play the racist card, attack the source for literally no reason (when it's an easily verifiable story), deflect to trump, nonstop personal attacks without attempting to make any point. that's their bag.
and i will be honest and say the right does that as well on many issues but this is education we're talking about.
dumbing down shit to not hurt people's feelings is ridiculous.
holding back the advance kids in the name of equity is even worse.
the education of our kids should not be some crazy partisan issue.
right doesn't race bait to deflect from random issues, right doesn't bring up biden in literally every thread (only when the left's hypocrisy is absurd like they say trump has dementia), right doesn't sourcetard, right doesn't form gangs of clownish trolls there's no honest discussion with the left about anything they'll reach into the bag. best you can get is tribal warfare

we are not going to address education and poverty without bringing race into it because it IS 80% of black kids who cannot read. i am not pointing it out to embarrass them! i am bringing out to embarrass our educational system! and heaven forbid maybe even their parents. thehill.com/opinion/education/579750-many-of-americas-black-youths-cannot-read-or-do-math-and-that-imperils-us/i point this and similar things out not because i am racist, i point this out because i have no fucking idea how this is even possible in the U.S. of A. we're not some backwards banana republic forcing our kids in to child labor to feed the family.

jesus christ. 85% of 8th graders are functionally illiterate.

Heres the thing I don't think you are racist, but you do tend to use sources/articles that tends to paint a sketch that black, urban/city areas are the worst of the worst, and even when we add money, extra teachers, etc to those place no net gain will be made. It paints in broad strokes that maybe we shouldn't waste our taxes/treasure/capitol on certain groups. And I never actually see you bring up artcles on the Top 10 worse States/Areas. It's usually Baltimore/VA/DC. I know that's because you live near by. To others that don't know that it looks like you are cherry picking the black districts, areas and not bringing up the top 10 worst States for education (Which tend to be majority white or mostly white Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Alabama, South Carolina, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee according to world pop review/wallethub as of 2023) And I can say that lower standards does shit for no one... You still can allow for extenuating circumstances. If you allow that Charles was pretty much homeless in 9th Grade and 10th Grade being shipped back and forth to his 2 grandmas and his ma when she was straight and still managed a 3.18 gpa has to count for something. I mean no fucking chance in hell I would've been able to hold a 3.18 in his situation. So Maybe if you are State Run Governors School that people move onto campus and stay in dorms give Charlie-Boy a little credit for maintaining a 3.18 when he didn't know where or if he was going to have a roof over his head that night to do the assignments for classes. Also take into account he blew your Placement Tests out the water and give him the god damn common curtesy of a round up to the minimum of 3.2. Sorry that still bugs the shit out of me.
i actually point our many articles stating the educational system in America overall is sinking.
i am not just talking SATs.
i am talking too many high school kids who can't read past kindergarten level WHO ARE GRADUATING!
fucking see spot run. run spot run.
jesus fucking christ.
adulthood is a fucking grind and we're sending these kids out into the world with
Oh no I do see your general topic ones, it just seems if it's about specifics you usually use links to VA,Balt/MD, or DC. I'm pretty sure I've seen more but those 3 stick out a lot with you for me. Hell Might be me just noticing it though you may do a lot more a few just caught my eye so I look for them. Sometimes I go into your education posts saying to myself will 0 proficient Baltamorian readers/writers or mathematicians make it this time or will it be DC people:)

i am a product of the American educational system.
you get out what you put in. :)
the fact the kids now are less educated than i was at their age is why i am concerned.
I totally agree - things are supposed to get better with time, not worse. These fuck-witted leftie morons who have hijacked the education system need to be thrown out in no uncertain terms.
and to be honest, it might not be the lefties.
maybe it is the establishment.
citizens are a lot easier to control when everyone is only slightly smarter than a brick.

all i know is in 9th grade advanced english i easily read like 6 serious novels or whatever plus Shakespeare.
same county, same school system, 35 years later, my son who is now in 9th grade advanced english reads ONE book and a dumbed down version of romeo and juliet and that's the school year.
what the god damn fuck.
if that's advanced english, what the hell are the non advanced kids doing??

i am not angry.
i've been worse.
just sad at the educational system we have and not amused at being called a racist for pointing it out.
it may not have been great back in the 80s but it was pretty damn good compared to today's standards.

let's be fair and think on this.
yes it is in baltimore or parts of chicago or parts of L.A where too many kids are failing.
at the end of the day - does it matter?
just because it is in these "depressed areas" that we just accept that 80%+ of these kids are functionally illiterate?
are we supposed to care only when it's in "non-depressed areas"?
i don't think so.
THAT would be racist.
you see where i am coming from?

There are conservatives who post stories involving minorities for the sole purpose of hating on said minorities. You don't strike me as being like that at all.

I think he meant the blue bear page you get when you can't connect to the server. I got that a few times just now. Of course, being a highly amusing person, I made a joke about it being you as you have 'bear' in your name. I'm very funny.
