Homeschooling

Hi Huntard, You've received a bunch of PC responses to why the public school system is failing, everyone is beating around the bush and not being straight forward with you. Using choice terminologies to kinda give you an idea. But here it is, sans the PC crap:There are 3 types of public schools in the US, with the occasional 4th type. These are: predominantly white PS, predominantly hispanic PS and predominantly black PS. Sometimes you'll have an evenly mixed school, but that's very rare.Then there is private schools, which are mostly white or, like where my daughters go to school, very well off hispanic kids in Miami, Coral Gables to be exact (if you're familiar?). But this again is very rare to have a predominantly hispanic private school, and only a few choice cities have this.There are NO (that I'm aware of) predominantly black private schools. Here's how it breaks down (in most cases):The white PS will score a lot better than the hispanic PS. But the hispanic PS will score better than the black PS. However, the ENTIRE public school system is graded as a whole. So failing hispanic schools and black schools bring down the overall test scores.Where as with private schools, since they are for the most part predominantly white, score better than the entire public school system, by a shit load!Also, most homeschooled kids are white, for obvious reasons. Thus the test scores are going to be better.Why do American public schools kinda suck ass, as you asked? Because hispanic kids and black kids (due to many social reasons) do not have the same learning capacity and test scores as their white counter-part.- Oni

Now knowing me, do you think my kids would go to a "Saint" something? Personal information removed. Use PM, guys. --AdminThere are no funds - less or more don't play a factor in this. They get enough to survive, no matter what the government says they're doing. The reality is in the field, at the schools.I have lots of teacher friends who work in poor schools in Hialeah, Liberty City, Homestead, etc., who have told me that for most, if not all projects, the teachers fund it out of their own pocket.Markers, crayons, color paper, or whetever the extra thing the kid may need, they (the teachers) usually buy it. These kid's parents, for the most part, don't have the money to buy it. If you are a concerned teacher, rather than one just doing a job, you'll want these kids to get educated and will make an effort to help the best you can. Even if that means coming up with cash out of you own pocket. Its sucks that that is the case. Well private schools score better anyway, so I don't think they score any greater than the normal private school. Some are predominantly hispanic private schools, but like I said, these are in choice cities. Yeah that's what I mean. I said for "many social reasons," or if you like "cultural reasons" instead, I'm cool with that.It has nothing to do wit the race itself, if that's what you thought. C'mon on hispanic myself, why would I insult me? Lol I think they instill more pressure and shame on themselves for failing and try harder than anyone to succeed, if only to not humiliate themselves and their family. Seems like a lot of guilt too. I remember this asian girl in grade school that cried almost hysterically when she received a B instead of an A, and felt horrible about having to tell her parents.Americans are not that fucking concerned. We are much more independent and we do things for ourselves rather than others. On average.- OniEdited by Admin, : Remove personal info.

I knew you were the moment I read that you were a cop. I have a few cop friends who work in Miami, I get what you experience - if you know what I mean You can't, or are not allowed, to say the truth. Which is that certain races do tend to lend themselves to certain behaviors. I'm hispanic, and I gracefully accept certain traits and behaviors are prone to my race. This is true for all areas. Economic make up and "place in society" go hand in hand with the environment you live in.I can only imagine that the school system in your area that is not doing well is predominantly balck or mix (hispanic/black), right?I feel your pain in that you can't in good conscience send your children there. But we have to remember, if you neglect a certain group within your society, it can, and as you can see, affect you who has no ties to this group. So it benefits us ALL to help each other.- Oni
