Anybody can see that this means nothing. “Nothing, nothing, nothing at all” in the words of the poet. ( Try googling that ! )
I wonder how much number tweeking this took. Worse, I think white students are generally dumber than ever, and so are the teachers. I went to vote last year and my wife and I casually observed spelling mistakes on several posters throughout the school/polling place.
The posters were made by the teachers, not the students!
I assume the standards have been lowered - again.
I’m not so sure that’s believable...but then the standards have dropped so low now...and the Common Core teaching on a roll....who can tell.
It’s going to take more than the years they’re saying for that gap to close....meanwhile the blacks have the Hispanic and Latino’s closing in as well.
This is in a Georgia newspaper ,, they’re the poster child for cheating in school (by the teachers).
Wait, What?
That can’t be right.
I thought they absolutely required Affirmative Action to get ahead?
So, this story says they’re just as smart as the next guy?
Always thought so and it took em long enough to admit:

“You can get ahead in life based on merit”...
Appears there was a general increase of about 4% in the graduation rate across all racial groups. I wonder what people who look at this stuff realistically attribute this to.
Did they learn anything?
Diplomas mean nothing anymore.
Read H.G.Wells
The Time Machine
Can’t be teaching or education from what I’ve seen. It is just about keeping the kids in the school and pushing them up a notch each year until they are out.
If true, then good news. I’ve always thought it was a national security risk for an entire class of people to be so extremely ignorant, and actually improving basic education for the black underclass is a more substantial solution than affirmative action, in my view. On the other hand, I think all of society is getting dumber and the educational system weaker across the board, so maybe its just standards are being lowered and/or whites are getting dumber.
Funny how these liberals never mention Asians in these articles regarding minority test scores and education. Maybe because it will screw up the narrative that America is an “evil and racist” nation where people of color have no chance to succeed.
Bingo, winner here.
They either lower the standards or we end up with 6th graders that have to shave every morning.
That’s what I’m suspecting. I’m wary of this of this figure sort of like the employment numbers.
If they just hand out diplomas to the blacks, then there will be a 100% graduation rate. The liberals than then declare “mission accomplished!”
Well cool! Now everything is even. We can do away with quotas and ‘affirmative action’.
This must mean affirmative action will be eliminated, right?
