Damn, @HarlemHottie why you hit me with the

I’ve been saying this. But brothers will shout me down on some, “AAVE is a legitimate language/dialect with its own set of rules.” Be that as it may, it should not preclude one from learning and speaking SAE/dominant English. We need to call it out for what it is. I’ve been able to switch back and forth my entire life and am not a genius by any stretch. And let’s be honest, a lot of stuff people claim falls under the umbrella of AAVE is not. It’s just grammatically or phonically WRONG.

Bc this entire post was stupid and wrong, respectfully.

No linguist has ever said "Sorry for your LOST" was grammatically correct AAVE. You built a strawman and knocked it down.

They're low performing students with a myriad of challenges. The question is how can they help them overcome those challenges and make education a top priority. Its alot long work (pause).

And the school has to ask. What are we doing to prepare kids for this state test? Could they offer classes after school, weekends with an incentive (food, a trip to the movies if they complete these classes). We all know these rich white people pay for tutors for test like the SAT. It's not just depending on the teachers who teach them for 7 hours

Learning starts at home. When the students have Sexy Redds, Megan the Stallion, City Girls as parents are we really surprised shyt like this happens???

It have to be more to this story IMO.

Between our good sis @Booksnrain and that bm principal who just got fired in Chicago, Lebron should be able to make this work. But last I checked, the majority of teachers at this school were white. That may have changed.

Yeah. I recently had a few eye-opening conversations with some former and retired administrators who mentioned that there’s been a consistent pattern of principals being dismissed if they had a proven track record of success. Particularly in black high poverty schools. TPTB are playing chess not checkers. And now they have elected officials in school boards and education departments to make detrimental changes to content and curriculum. It’s a shyt show.
As for the teachers, in America across the board 80% are white and female, so that tracks. It’s so hard to recruit and keep black male teachers in the classroom because of shytty pay, high stress and there is such a vacuum of black male school leaders that if a black man shows even the slightest promise in the classroom, he is yanked out to be a principal or administrator. Which is good in some ways but robs students of good teachers that look like them in other ways. Hope you been well sis!

Bron needs even more help?

Sorry the jokes write themselves

Lmao! Not fooling with ya’ll today!

I don't know enough about the education field to know if this is expected or a failure of the school and it's system

He have to be more to this story IMO.

There is. His school is targeting students with learning difficulties and a host of other issues that are difficult to address even in other schools. So these results are expected because learning isn’t a magic bullet. People don’t really understand the magnitude of what the U.S. school system does of how important it is. Compulsory education for all regardless of race, socioeconomic background, gender, religion or disability. It’s probably one of the greatest vehicles for social mobility we have as a country. And Lebron’s school is taking on the least successful students with the most need. The first few years are going to be rough.

And If they don’t have certain contingencies in place, and a high quality trained staff, they will continue to have a lot of issues.

For instance, what is the schoolwide vision or goal for the school? What’s the school culture? Grade level culture? Classroom culture? What instructional models and dispositions are held by your staff? How are they trained to teach? Constructivist models? Service learning models? How do they plan? How do they break down standards? Address behaviors? Cultivate intrinsic motivation for learning in their students? Every school I do consultation for has the same issues I keep seeing over and over again. They are actually fairly easy to address if the faculty is onboard.

Regardless of culture, ethnicity, et al, education starts at home. Point blank.

Beginning and end.

Covid did a number on all students across the country. I’m sure that’s a big reason for this.

The other issue is the model itself will only be as successful as the students and teachers want it to be. If you have students who aren’t trying and being disruptive, it will hurt an entire school. I refuse to believe every kid in that school is dumb.

Filling an entire school with students who are low achieving and have a host of background issues is something NO educator would advise. Not because they can’t be taught, but because you need an all star team of teachers to make that impact. And you’re just not going to get that at a public school. A few will be great, some will be good, most will be average and some will be bad.

It truly takes a 360 approach to impact the population they want to reach, and even then you’re still going to have kids who won’t make it through. They’ll have to accept that and focus on those with the highest potential. Public education is a numbers game at the end of the day.

There’s a reason some charter schools boast about 100 percent graduation rate, etc and that’s because they kick out the kids who are failing.

Zero students in 3 years is really bad though. That’s a failure from the top down.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

You can’t teach a behavior.
Learning is a behavior
Curiosity is a behavior

And a lot of it takes place outside of the classroom.

If I Promise was a boarding school the results would probably be significantly different.

I strongly disagree. I’ve seen many kids from those types of backgrounds sent away to boarding school and not make it a year

 

[GilSho]

You have a school specifically designed to take in the lowest performing students and typical coli suspects curate grand narratives of the black race.

Sick sacks of shyt.

What's most pathetic is cacs, c00ns and self-hating blacks are all acting like it's a black only school for blatantly obvious reasons.

 

[BaggerofTea]

What's pathetic is both cacs and c00ns alike are acting like it's a black only school lol.

Posters look fukking crazy out here.

Its literally a school for slow developing children.

Why even make an article about this from Yahoo! view point

I wouldn’t say slow developing (that implies they’re special needs) but it is for low achieving and those from the worst backgrounds. I agree if Lebron’s name wasn’t attached it’s not a huge story, but the amount of money and resources being poured in there and not have one student on grade level is alarming.

It’s just not a good model for any school. The only place where people from the worst backgrounds are all in one place is prison. And that clearly doesn’t help anybody.

less optimal environments

Are you referring to school or home?

How would I get in contact with Lebron? I could legit help him and his staff with this population. I’ve helped failing schools demonstrate high growth and improved the percentage of its students meeting yearly proficiency goals. Helped schools go from F to A schools.

All I need is his staff, his budget, his administration, information about the curriculum, a summer and a couple of weekends.

Maybe on twitter and Instagram. He seems to be in there a lot.

Serious question: if these kids have been behind since the third grade and now they're in 8th grade and still behind at what point was the plant to get them caught up or what is usually the plan in situations like this? They going to just keep failing standardized tests but be socially promoted?

A lot of these posters with a lot to say tend to be the most incompetent. Especially @jilla82 , that idiot is always on the wrong side of the facts and always looking for some white man to suck off.
