Behavior is the problem in public school(period). From around the 5 grade to 12 students get talkative and disrespectful.

I fault a group if guys me against many. About five years later a missionary to Haiti was teaching around 300 people and everyone was learning. No one was talking and no disrespecting the teacher. Behavior is the problem in school plain and simple.

We should have separate schools for minority/poor kids that are actually there to learn. Move the other ones to trade schools, and let them graduate earlier. In Nashville, we have magnet schools. They are so popular that there is a lottery to get in. There ARE black families willing to do what it takes to educate their kids, as they know that’s the only escape from poverty. The problem is that they are the minority. It does no good to pour money into a school, if it’s basically prison light.

I thought the charter schools were the opposite of that and it's the public schools/union that's the problem? Also if someone wouldn't mind explaining to me how the school vouchers work? What determines if you get one or not and what exactly does it give you?

[@kickingass62]

Unorganized means the teachers in the charter schools are not a part of the teacher's unions. In the second part of that he was referring to those who oppose charter schools caring more about the teachers than the students. The "voucher" is basically just the term they use for the government taking the money for a student that would have gone to a public school and giving the money to the charter school the student attends. I believe many charter schools are done by lottery as there is usually a greater demand than spots they have available.

[@fzqlcs]

Check out the video: Thomas Sowell/Black Wisdom Matters - The Impact of Culture

[@Jimraynor45]

A more precise way to see it is that culture is primary reason for the _differences_ between groups. The primary root for the degradation is past government policies. Whites, hispanics and all other groups are also affected by bad schools. Test scores and eduation quality is down all across the board. The reason why it impacts blacks more is culture. Culture explains the difference, it isn't the primary reason.

[@creationevolution315]

@@Jimraynor45 I grew up in a typical ghetto/hood/projects. I agree, it's the culture within these kinds of communities that destroy black people's potential. I narrowly escaped by doing well in school, working my way through college, etc. It isn't willful ignorance that keeps us blaming white racists for our cultural degeneracy, it's the SHAME. The shame is so overwhelming that the black community would rather break my neck on a noose than have me, or any blacks, speak about it. Shame and liberal/Democrat propaganda keep blacks in a neverending self-feeding deathloop of failure to thrive. That is why the black people in this video are hated, scorned or ignored by their own people to whom they've dedicated their intellect, will, and talents to help.

[@jocof0177]

While I can see some arguments are valid, in my District there are a number of charter school and their standards are not superior to the public school. In some cases it is worse. The schools are created for profit so the discipline is not better. Generally speaking, students equal $ so the more the better (including those not well behaved). The teachers are paid much less and do not have the quality or experience of public school staff. Additionally, the results of yearly achievement tests prove it. While the idea of charter schools has potential, it does clash with Teacher Unions as well as public schools themselves making them natural competitors. Lastly, keep in mind the population served is the same and the parents likewise. Charter schools are hardly the "magic bullet" portrayed here.

[@threescoreandmore5617]

I’m sure some charter schools do not do well. The beauty of school choice is that parents and students can choose the best alternative. Why are so many opposed to school choice?

I'm all for charter schools and vouchers, but they do cherry pick, Yes the is a lottery but the families who apply for the lottery and agree with the requirements of the school are already superior to those who don't. I teach at a magnet school and the faculty is good but what makes the school great is the quality of kids we get and the lack of troublemakers that we don't get. If you allow me to make is just a little bit difficult to get a kid into my school I will give you a better than average school. The harder it is to get in the better the school.

[@blackmanops3749]

What I haven't heard discussed is the ability/skills issue. There is an unspoken, yet false, premise that all students can perform at a high level. They cannot. In addition to what is discussed, there needs to be a paradigm shift to develop a track for those who are not cutting the academic focused track. There are a lot of low functioning kids who are best served by teaching them life skills so they can be productive in society.

I will say it again, cuz Mr. Sowell seems to have to have missed this point: those kids dont care about school. The doont want to learn they dont want to do anything but paty and make babies.

[@1966johnnywayne]

I love to listen to Dr. Sowell, but there is a certain level of denial in these claims. The claim that "these are kids that are not skimming the cream, they are chosen by lottery" ignores the fact that people who don't go out and buy a lottery ticket will never win the lottery. Sure, the students selected are randomly chosen, but only those whose parents care enough about their child's education and are willing to put in the extra work required for a successful outcome combined with those children willing to "act white" will even apply for this lottery, and that ignores the majority that don't give a damn about education. The successes of the charter school system is based on a small, motivated percentage of the population, and given the opportunity to expand this program to the broader community will expose it's inevitable weakness (the elephant in the room)...and that is that on the whole black students perform poorly when compared to white and asian students. Charter schools have the ability to benefit more students than they currently are, even some of those who are not currently applying to the system, but eventually they will reach a saturation point where no amount of educational input is going to produce better results. I agree that a motivated child should have the opportunity to access a better educational environment, but we need to be honest about it's limitations.

[@optimisticallyskeptical1842]

While on the surface I would generally agree with you, we do not have studies that would show that outcome. I do believe that if charter schools were more the standard it would indeed follow the normal curve of those that wanted to learn and those that didn't with the average in the middle. But I also propose that being semi-private, charter schools would develop alternatives to children who were found to be having difficulty in a charter school environment, unlike how the public school system deals with it. If we can't get a child to learn, lets at least strive for a better outcome.

[@lakeshow71]

You're not taking into account that they compare how the kids who are accepted perform in life compared to those that applied and we're rejected. The ones accepted perform far better across multiple dimensions than those who return to public schools. A healthier learning environment provides the best opportunity for any one child to reach their potential. Your "Elephant in the room" argument seems to be genetically based. You seem to think that asian and white kids perform better because they are genetically superior, not because they we're raised in healthier environments. I'd be careful following that path too far.

[@lm3049]

All excellent points made here. And they should be made in a public debate forum much like those available in decades past where people debated and the audience intently listened to all sides. This public discussion would shut down all these riots. Om second thought perhaps cause more because rioters aren’t about discussion they’re about destruction. Sad state of affairs.

[@idkwatmynameshudbe7]

And what evidence do you have that this is a small motivated percentage? If 80% of blacks are pro charter schools, that would point to a majority being motivated enough to understand the benefits of them. It seems like it's actually a small unmotivated percentage that is ruining the classroom environment due to policies like restorative justice. Getting kids away from that influence as fast as possible so they can learn in peace is what charter schools offer
