ok i guess im naive b/c i am white but whatever.  How come on long island the worst performing schools are mostly black schools (whydanch,  roosevelt,  freeport,  amityville,  hempstead)  but yet more money an funds are giving to these schools than any other white school.  why do these schools continue to fail.  also back when my dad was in high school the nyc public school districts were about 80% percent white.  during that time the nyc school district was the highest rated school district in america.  an as minoritys (not jus blacks but all of them) the school system slowly started to crumble.  now its 12% of NYC public schools an city schools are in shambles

Lincoln:
Touchy subject. Give me time to explain this carefully, placing my hands on the oven without actually touching it.

Easy, it's not just money, but what is done with it. See, the old theory is that if you throw money at a situation, then it will solve itself. When you take money away, yes education declines, but when you throw money, it doesn't rise, it's very touchy. Education systems rise with experienced leaders. One problem is that minorities are taught different than whites, because it's kind of pointless teaching minorities about Eurocentric issues, when they have nothing to do with minorities at all. But then in test, the Eurocentric questions are there, that liberal teachers don't teach. And New York is known for being one of the most liberal schooling systems in the nation. Though teachers teach topics that are not on the test that measure a students intellegents, because in theory you teach in mirrors, in other words, teach students what's interesting to them, and watch them do well in your class. But it would be in the test, so teachers are now scrambling to change to fit the test, because with No Child Left Behind, you have to have you students pass the test, or your fired.

What do you want me to say. Blacks are inferiour to whites, when there are plenty of blacks that are smarter than many whites. Dogg, it's just how the world is right now. Right now things are fucked up. Why are Asians are doing better in school than anyone? Dogg, that's just the way things are right now, but there are plenty of blacks and latinos that score higher in school than asians. What you want me to say? Shit happens, and that's a problem I'm going to face since I am going to be a teacher. Let me handle that situation, you handle yours and don't worry what the fuck others are doing.
