Jaime Escalante - Taught at Garfield High in East Los Angeles
“Despite the painfully bad educational outcomes in many public schools in ghettos across the country, there are also cases where charter schools in the very same ghettos turn out students whose test scores are not only far higher than those in other ghetto schools, but sometimes are comparable to the test scores in schools in upscale suburban communities, where children come from intact families with highly educated parents.”
Remember Jaime Escalante in Los Angeles? He took ghetto kids, and taught them enough math to beat the Advanced Placement scores of Beverly Hills high school. The leftists at ETS in Princeton, NJ, AND the unions tried to destroy him. Nothing has changed in 35 years.
ETS did not try to destroy him. In the normal process of identifying cheating on an ETS test, his students attested to his amazing ability to teach math. The unusual number of high test scores at a single testing center was flagged. Please understand what you are talking about before name calling.
We had a guy here in Denver named Bob Cote (now deceased) that started a program called Step 13 for homeless people with abuse problems. He didn’t coddle them. From my understanding, he wasn’t universally loved because his approach wasn’t soft-hearted. It was tough and realistic, but he had success with the people that truly wanted to turn their lives around.
Here’s an article about him if anyone is interested.

Then there are men like Ben Carson who came out of the Detroit ghetto to become a world class doctor...
I know this much, we’re NOT doing ghetto kids a favor by keeping violent pre-criminals in the school system. If the thugs hate being there, they’re better off on the street until they have a change of heart. Allow the kids who want to learn to be in a safe environment.

Black children are misbehaving a lot worse now than they were 35 years ago. I think they would do well in schools modeled after military schools beginning in the sixth grade, focused on the basics of reading, writing and math. Even boarding schools should be considered to remove them from the ghetto and it’s culture of death.
These schools would have to be monitored by cameras and layers of management inside and outside the schools because it would be a venue for sexual abuse and physical abuse run by the same idiots from the ghetto if we were not careful and vigilant. Punishment in the ghetto is male on male rape and viscous beatings. They could be charter schools.
Socialist racist studies totally robs a black child of freedom; putting them in the chains and rage of the past and it also teaches racism (racial superiority) against all others (especially whites and America) which is an aggressive and losing attitude. It’s child abuse. So not liberal hate studies. Use secular Christian-American based ethics and morals and just and loving leadership.
