Arne Duncan: ‘White suburban moms’ upset that Common Core shows their kids aren’t ‘brilliant’

[Serious]

Technically yes since scores overall in NY dropped by 30 percent

Minority student scores have been dropping for years, this something I think all of us have realized for years because its alway on TV on uneducated our kids are. Parents of these type of students have been complaining for years about how horrible the schools systems in this country have been and they have gotten the

What happening now is that common core is showing hey not only are the poor black kids not smart but suburban middle class kids (with all there resources, safer schools , more income etc etc ) are just as dumb. White moms are upset at this because they have built there whole lives (marry the well off guy, move to a well off neighborhood, buy the house you cant afford, get the cars you cant afford, have the 3.5 kids you can barely afford) around the premise that there kids will receive a superior education, get a superior job and continue the cycle of white domination.

The notion of perceived intelligence is a bytch. My fiance is a H.S teacher and like other have pointed out here and like the article says, the last thing a lot of these white parents want to hear is that there kid is not smart, they dont want to hear there son may have learning issue like Tyree or Jose , they dont want to hear that looking like barbie and acting like a Disney princess may have been cute for little Ms Becky but its not going to cut in college or the real world.

You know whats even crazier? The racial bigotry is so deep rooted in this country that these type of kids get chosen over smarter more hard working black and brown kids EVERYDAY at college and jobs. Just because becky shows up with her resume showing she is from Pretty lake suburb,USA.

The only problem I have with the common core shyt is the math if anything they should have implemented this new way of teaching years ago. if your gonna level the playing field why now??? Why not back then. so then everyone has a fair shot... You know little jose and tyrone didnt have a great shot back then with math, now you change the game and tell them here's the new rules of math, they have to unlearn everything they've learned..

WHAT???

Black people have been on the forefront of alot of superior technological innovations back in the days but with media and history being white washed alot of it, gets fukked around. I'm sure there's some low key black geniuses out there but


I think if black people applied themselves more in certain fields we can go beyond shyt... sometimes it's just in our nature to be on some next level shyt and everyone else bites off it...

The funny part is that we live in an age where the average GPA is ridiculously high and it's not uncommon to have as many as 20 Valedictorians. People assumed it was because our kids today in these white suburban enclaves are just much more smarter and better prepared than the kids of the past when it was nearly impossible to get get a straight 4.0 and kids coming out of HS were much smarter than college grads today. These are the same people that go to the teacher's office out for blood if lil Johnny isn't given an A for an extremely mediocre performance in an advanced class.

In the age of GPA inflation, rampant cheating, redlining communities to oblivion and every child is a special little snowflake, we are finally learning that this system of education is not making us competitive on a global market where employers are having a harder time finding qualified American workers. Kids are given iphones as young as 9 but when they learn that their child actually has to think critically, it's all of a sudden too complicated for children. They miss me with that bull.



I don't believe that black people are superior to white people because I believe that everyone is genetically equal but I don't believe this nonsense that black people are just not as good as white people when we live in an age where black employees have to damn near be MENSA quality to keep their job while the most mediocre white people imaginable get to coast through work and do the bare minimum.

what are you talking about? with this type of reasoning every new way of doing things should of been implemented/invented/created "back then". and no one have to "unlearn" math it's just a new way of teaching and testing kids on it

BS,

their is no evidence that a black man applied himself in a scientific field would be superior to a white man...

But that's what im reffering to, when you drill it in some kids head for years how to do things, the mind has a hard time of using new techniques to get the same damn answer...

where is your scientific evidence that blacks are more naturally intelligent then whites

 

[Serious]

you guys honestly believe black people are intellectually superior to white people

What?

I believe in the game of life, certain individuals are smarter than others, but race itself is a man made concept, sort of like the borders in Iraq.


To put more simply, people are people. You'd be a fool to think someone who's amassed a fortune of off the oppression of others such as a Donald sterling type, even closely resembles the synaptic behavior that someone like the @The Real perceives
