#1 He [Milwaukee Supt. Howard Fuller] says the imbalances reflect deep-rooted segregation, and it is unfair to put the burden on charters to pursue integration.

So additional 'segregation' is the answer? Just asking.

I know it sounds antiquated, but let us suppose for a moment that everyone regardless of race or ethnic background, performs to a single standard and sinks or swims accordingly.

#2 ...The real problem is that the way we run public school systems here has been badly broken for about sixty years now and that most systems now are welfare programs for 'administrators' that happen to run vaguely educational programs.

I mean, seriously - how does the constantly increasing cost of educating a constantly decreasing number of students make any possible sense?

#3 ...you get more of what you subsidize.

#4 “How do these kids get the best education possible?”

Ask the successful community - like the Asians? Starts at home which places high value on education (and immutable standards) rather than a day care center operations.

#5 HT Ace's ONT: What Really Happened At The School Where Every Graduate Got Into College

NPR dances around the DC racial tribalism and bigotry of low expectations, but it's a shocking article

#6 Ask the successful community - like the Asians? I know very few Asians, except for the youngish women from mainland China teaching Mandarin in college. Watching them react to their own flubs in grammar or pronunciation, or when they weren't able to immediately & clearly answer a reasonable question on the language or literature, was priceless. They truly showed they have a scary work ethic & personal standard of job performance.

#7 Yes, charter school kids get much less exposure to disruptive individuals who are not there to learn. More's the pity. /sarc

#8 And on average, children in hyper-segregated charters do at least marginally better on tests than those in comparably segregated traditional schools.

That sentence matters. Those children are in charter schools because their parents are trying to get them a better education than the local public school provides — and more of them than not are getting it.

#9 Teachers will tell you what is wrong. There is a complete lack of support from the parent(s) for those kids that don't do well and it goes right along racial lines. You can put all the black/brown minority kids in the best schools and they won't do shit because there is no support at home and no one gives a shit. Why try to work hard when sugar daddy government pays your way?

Cut welfare off and force people to work for a living and this might change.

#10 Teachers will tell you what is wrong.

I been earning a living as a substitute teacher/private tutor for the last three years Darth (and spent the preceding 35 in various academic institutions), and I'll tell you that is wrong - the fact that most of the professional teachers have the competence of cockroaches. I've met biology teachers who don't understand evolution*, Science teachers who are fervent believers in AGW. Math teachers who can't solve textbook problems. Hell, I even met one ~~cunt~~ delitfull young lady - Grom Jr. math teacher - who thinks distributive law can apply to a situation where there is only multiplication (I think she confuses distributive law with having brackets).

*To be fair I know one genetics university professor who doesn't understand sexual selection.

#11 #4 “How do these kids get the best education possible?”

Don't have a culture which dismisses studying and working hard as "inauthentic" or "acting white".

Charter schools are among the nation’s most segregated, an Associated Press analysis finds ‐ an outcome at odds, critics say, with their goal of offering a better alternative to failing traditional public schools.

Fox Butterfield lives!

"Desegregation works. Nothing else does," said Daniel Shulman, a Minnesota civil rights attorney

Tell that to the Congressional Black Caucus.

#12 If you were truly a Racist White Supremacist™, there's nothing that could please you more than what black culture, black self-segregation, and black racial agitation is doing right now.

#13 Incidentally, why is racial segregation is bad for K-12 but good for colleges?

#15 g(r)omgoru, here it is the minorities that have the major issues. PC culture allows this to continue, but you can see the racial division very clearly.
