The destruction of the black family from the democrat agenda and now they wonder why they can’t do math.
Yes, I've long noticed that people who I work with - many of whom are very good at math - tend to have grown up in intact families.
Kids who grow up in intact families, with a father and a mother, don't have to spend a lot of energy worrying about "what will happen to me if mom and dad split up" and "what will happen to me if one of mom's boyfriends moves in." They can therefore devote themselves to studying difficult things like the slope-intercept form and the quadratic formula.
I do know one person who is a brilliant programmer and who had family problems growing up. He is a most unusual fellow, who's inner vision of himself was so strong at an early age that it carried him through the chaotic times.
People like that are kind of a separate case, in my opinion. Most kids are not so lucky as that, and for those - the majority - having an intact family gives them time to figure out their mission in life later.
I recall an article from Chicago several years ago where a teacher was fired for teaching math the ‘black way’. She/he/it had used drug lingo to show how to do fractions and percentages as well as how to teach basic business ideas about profit and loss.
The black kids picked it up nearly instantly and started to ace their exams. Which is how she got ‘caught’. Her students were out-performing the others in the school system.
No good deed goes unpunished aka the nail that stands above the others gets hammered down.
It’s a worldwide issue
