A black principal has meeting with only the black students to tell them they need to get their shyt and she gets fired.

[Tair]

Really? The meeting is a form of punishment. These kids were pulled out of class and forced to sit in a lecture they didn't want to or need to be in for something they had no part in. That's a punishment. You can't refute any of this shyt I just said because you don't have the proper knowledge base to draw from.

You need to stop coming on here spreading ignorance. You have no idea about the topics you constantly speak about. You're the worst kind of ignorant the type that talks and thinks they know so much and offers opinions on everything while knowing so little. You're the dunning-kruger effect personified.

And btw it's not racist or any form of c00nery to want black excellence to be able to excel without being held back by others. What you preach is exactly the crab in a bucket mentality I'm talking about. Then you attempt to minimize the impact of this meeting yet it was big enough to get the principal placed on leave and for there to be a multiple page thread discussing it. You're a joke.

He is currently arguing with @null , a computer scientist, about some app he is using AI to help him make. shyt is hilarious.

Breh I was in that thread. I had to bow out. Wasn't even worth calling him out about it. Dude said he invented an encryption algorithm using only chatgpt
Said only the NSA would be able to crack it

 

[Concerned Citizen]

Damn shame. You know one of the parents caused a fuss with the same energy that hating ass mom had against Joe Clar…excuse me Batman in Lean on Me.

 

[HiphopRelated]

The problem is if 100 parents support her and 6 bytch, the 6 is all they need to highlight. If she spoke to black students alone, I sense she wasn't trying to make an example or blame anyone. More give em a dose of reality that she wouldn't speak in front of crackas.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong but the parts don't fit for vindictive imo.

6% of the school population but she called out the black students,

Which students were struggling

 

[JustRegularBlack]

Terrible approach no matter race or gpa. Most kids that are severely underachieving aren't going to magically do better with more reprimanding and shaming. Her whole thought process was nasty work. SMFH.

 

[Starman]

The larger conversation about grades and race are very interesting.

Stop it. As a breh who was the high achieving student and now one of the high achieving adults we need to stop lumping every black kid in with the folks at the bottom of the ladder. There is a collective responsibility to uplift our people yes but punishing high achievers and making them feel like no matter what they do they are still represented by the lowest achievers is ridiculous. No other group does this. What this teaches is learned helplessness. "Oh so I could have a 4.0 and go to Harvard and get an MD but I'm still considered a failure because Trevon i went to school with couldn't get his shyt together" why try then?
The importance is ensure the high achievers understand the systemic reasons the low achievers are low achievers so the high achievers can once, they elevate to a position of power, help remove some of the glass ceilings preventing low achievers with potential from performing up to that potential. Lumping high achievers in with low achievers and putting their faults on the high achievers creates a glass ceiling on them which is backwards and unfair.

if you were a high achieving student in that meeting you wouldnt take anything personal that principle said...
it would be clear to you what she was getting at.

Situations like this is exactly why we want more black folks in positions...
so we can push each other.

Problem is nowadays half of us dont want to hear anything about doing better.

She deserved to get fired. She could have singled out the poor performing students. Instead she decided to tap dance for some butter biscuits. I wonder how long they'll stave off joining the bread line.

You sound like an idiot.

If you were a high achiever and got tarred and feathered with the same brush as those fukking around, you'd question the value of your efforts.

Don't be stupid. Reward and recognition is an important part of a child's development. Overlook their efforts deprived them of the positive reinforcement they need.

why do yall go straight to name calling when having a discussion?

im sorry but a teacher talking harsh to a highschool student isnt going to cause harm.
Have yall never played sports?

All this hand holding isnt necessary especially with what HS aged kids experience everyday.

If Lean on Me was made today yall would be trying to protest that school

 

[jilla82]

Example of a school that was able to raise black students scores.

One of the major points was "having high expectations"

Why would a high achieving student be invited to a meeting for students with low grades.

Stupidity like this is why black boys especially will never be able to progress in the gynocentric black community. No other culture would do this or try to argue that this is good. You take your high achievers and push them, black community tells black boys who are smart that they need to do more to help out pookie and Ray Ray, because they all ain't shyt. Smh

You can't make up how dysfunctional a culture some of you embrace and live in.

Unbelievable BREH in Lean On Me at the beginning of the movie he called an assembly where he put all the low performing students on stage and then kicked them all out
WTF are you even saying? JOE CLARK literally FILTERED the students out he was divying out punishment to.

 

[Piff Perkins]

what did she say?

I'd want a black principal to cater to black students to be excellent tbh.

In a majority white school lol? We need to dead this thinking, shyt is dead in 2025. Treating black people differently - by giving theme benefits no one else gets, or treatment no one else gets - is asking for a lawsuit in Trump's America. It's time to get smart. She could have had all the black kids come, alongside a similar portion of white students, and she would still have her job and this wouldn't be a headline.
