California is operating as designed by the wise majority of California voters.
Perhaps we should consider that black drop out rates are not reflective of environmental factors?
Mexico to California: All of your monies belonging to us!
I don't think I believe these figures.
How do we know whether CA is doctoring the figures to get federal funding for students counts?
NO HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA/GED
NO CLEAN DRUG TEST
NO WELFARE!
Headline: “Blacks Drop Out Whites Hit Hardest”
End the public Dole Now!!!!
Trust me, if you ever get out and around our population you would realize they are not fudging these numbers.
All CA school districts have done this for years, it's taken for granted.
Government schools are a disaster and there never will be any improvement.
big deal...........check the dropout rate for detroit...I believe it is at 75% or greater....go pound sand, california, you did this to yourselfs, like detroit did ( and continues to do ) the only good thing in detroit schools is bob bob..(robert bobb) and if this guy ran for president, he would get my vote...
“The discussion usually ended with me showing that free markets lead to higher standard of living for all members of society than the alternatives, even though it isn’t perfect.”

Yes. I suppose a “perfect” system would result in 100% congruence between one’s efforts and talents, and the resulting rewards.
But as far as overall fairness and improving standards of living, free markets coupled with rule of law, property rights and Christian morality, is by far, the best system that has ever been developed.
The vast majority of the “problem” with free markets can be summarized in the 10th Commandment.
Yes, this is the real reason for high dropouts! Stop the welfare gravy train, and kids will stay in school knowing they need a diploma to get good-paying work. Too many kids drop out knowing there's free money in welfare without having to work.
If they want to close the achievement gap, they need to focus on getting white and asian test scores lower.
They’re not dropping out - they’ve just made a different career choice ... WELFARE.
These kids come from “families” that have n fathers, are third or fourth generation welfare, major parent neglect if not abuse, have substance abuse and gang/crime issues.
Many of the children have fetal alcohol and/or fetal drug syndrome which leads to lack of cognitive ability, attention deficit, innate hyperactivity and self control/violence that are amplified by exposure to gangs and violent crime.
The small select few number children who can function at a normal level and try to buck the system get dragged down by the ghetto mentality for being an oreo.
Our failed social policies have destroyed several generations of poor black children

A tragedy so unspeakably awful. And the combined forces of the KKK, American Nazi Party and George Wallace could not have pulled it off if they all gave 110% effort.
Is that a spade?
Man, you are so racist!
/sarc.
Seriously, I’m surprised it’s only 37 percent. When you factor in the black illegitimacy rates.... It ought to be even HIGHER.
Proving once again that the democrap party doesn’t care a fig about individual black people, they just institute social engineering designed to create depenedncy and therefore democrap votes for continuing the welfare doles of various sorts. Affirmative action turned into one of the most racist denigrations of black people ever devised by the minds of men. But it serve the DNC purpose of maintaining the dependency class democrats depend upon for votes.
So private or government?
Which school ( private or government) is in a better legal position to dish out heaping doses of moral instruction ( to both kids and their parents) needed to reverse the trends in parenting, illegitimacy, and ignorance?
