"Failure Factories": How a Florida School District Wrecked Schools for Black Students

"Failure Factories": How a Florida School District Wrecked Schools for Black Students
RealNews (leftwing) video

Does segregation or integration really make much difference? Is it fair to declare schools a failure just because black students get lower test scores than rich white kids? Why are test scores valid to show that schools are a failure but they are not valid for college admissions because they are biased?

A VERY POST! BUT, LET'S FACE IT, INTEGRATION WAS NEVER INTENDED TO EQUALIZE AFRICANS ON A PAR WITH CAUCASIANS! AND WHY ARE WE STILL RELYING OUR HATERS TO EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN?! WHEN ARE THE AFRICANS IN THE AMERICAS GOING TO STOP FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF THE, REALLY,PRIMITIVE AND SOCIALLY BACKWARD CAUCASIANS?!

+Muhammad The Just I'm just a guy who realizes people like you are all talk and no action. You make wild demands on others with the knowledge you'll never receive what you asked for in order to hide your lack of abilities and/or ambition.

That's just what's being reported. We both know their are at least two sides to every story. It could be that policies were changed for any number of reasons. I don't believe policies cause ignorant behavior or failing courses either way. They could. I'm not a teacher nor do I have any experience or real knowledge of such. You do, so maybe you're right. I am certainly generalizing.

This is an example of how to confuse an audience? "Resegregation"... What does that mean? Blacks had to go to black schools and whites to whites? Or just kids stayed in their own neighbourhoods which just happened to be all black?

How much funding per child was provided in other schools compared with the 5 failed schools?


What were the academic results compared with other schools?

Blacks are statistically more likely to be born without a structured family. Raising a kid who performs in school is much more dependent on reinforcement at home than what school they are at. Single mothers are at a huge disadvantage, having to work full time and some how discipline their child.

+Adam Pharmassists Just keep telling everyone that gravity and factual research data is a figment of our imaginations fuck-face. It's even more pathetic, I mean, entertaining. ;).

You say schools with higher poverty rates are out performing these schools, but never say what the difference is. Since the rest of the story focuses on schools that are overwhelmingly black, are we to assume you're saying the failure is due to too many black kids? This whole story is essentially claiming that blacks are doomed to fail unless mixed with whites.

+tarossi400 That's not even close to what the point is here. They defunded the school when they separated the children. Take from someone like me that has actually worked to build a school. Education is expensive, and can not operate without proper funding. The school tanked afterwards. The kids "just happened to be" black.

+PrimeTime It's not said in this story that the schools were defunded, only that promises to add more funding for counselors, therapists and the like were not met. Why would they need to add all this mental counseling? Isn't that above and beyond what the typical school gets?

all the Caucasians are backward and primitive remarks make me laugh. you have been brainwashed by the whiteys fault crowd, just like spoiled children. It's not my fault ,we never do anything wrong, we kill each other at alaming numbers because of white people. I've lived in the hood or next to it my whole life ..... there is a mindset in the hood and it starts about 7th or 8th grade, its " I'm not gonna learn and I'm gonna make damn shure nobody else does either"

The interview never touched on why they didn't replace the school board. Usually they are voted in, why couldn't they be voted out? I don't get it. Also, integration isn't the answer for educating Black children. They had quoted initially there would be no more than 30% Black student population per school, ensuring they were a planned and legislated minority. 70% was still catered to the dominant race, their needs, their goals, their system of education. The 30% got the crumbs that fell from the table by virtue of them being there. This was a jacked up system all the way around and the main victims were the kids. SMH.
