no i want the minorities to cut the bull shit an stop blaming the white man for everything that goes wrong.  i want them to stop using the excuse that there school aint gettin the teachers,  money,  an facilities that white schools do even tho the facts are right smack in there fuckin face.  i want them to maybe put the blame where blame should be instead of always finding a scapegoat.  sought like what you did with sayin they only teach white european history an that why monorities fail b/c it dont relate to them.  an than when i bought up other sunject mdog u had to tell me stop worrying about every1 else an jus worry about myself.  but wait,  yet u always go on about how the white man.  maybe u should take ur own advice an worry about urself instead of worrying about the man

The Answer people don't want to hear:

It doesn't matter how much money you give a school.  The black schools do poorly because many of them come from broken homes, where there is only 1 parent, and many don't even see that parent too much because they're out working their ass off for minimum wage trying to keep food on the table.  

Poor family life= Poor grades.

In contrast, in Utah, most of the kids have 2 parents who are married, and religious (religion teaches family values, like spending quality time with your kids).  As a result, they have the highest test scores consistantly in the country, while they spend the lowest per child on their education.

It's all about family, and unfortunately many black homes are broken, and blacks earn less than whites because of lack of education, etc.  

Peace~

That's actually very true, but I don't see why you stated that it's the answer most people don't want to hear. In addition, in economically poor neighborhood schools, where in general "security" seems to be an issue, the school has more to worry about than just raising test scores. Their first concern is the security of the students, and sometimes that's where money is spent (Tom, I'm assuming that's the case with the schools you mentioned). So, basically most of the poorer schools have other concerns besides better schools, where as the "better-off" schools don't have that problem and can just improve on actual student performance. This is not true for ALL schools, but could be something to think about.

^ It's the answer people don't want to hear (M Dogg) because they're racially motivated, and like to blame things on 'the system' or 'the man' or 'government' or 'lack of funds' or whatever the fuck.  The answer is at home, personal responsibility, it's not the government's problem, but of course it gets made the government's problem.
