No. They've tried everything and nothing works.
So the plan now is to declare everything "racist" and completely change the curriculum so blacks can succeed.
Latest is "math is racist." Proper grammar has already been demonized and deemed "racist."

I suspect that some correction factors can fix things.
No....
If Better schools means private non union schools, then yes. The competition will also raise most boats and parents should have vouchers, the money goes to the child not the public school.
Simple analogy: put a block of lead in fron of a stereo speaker. Turn off the sound and the lead block makes no music.
Parents should not have vouchers. People work hard and move to better school districts to keep their kids away from ghetto trash.
“The threshold I.Q. level for a diagnosis of mental retardation has been progressively lowered over the years, in part because of awareness of the damaging social prejudice suffered by those labeled “retarded.” In 1959, the American Association on Mental Deficiency set 85 as the I.Q. below which a person was considered to be retarded.In 1992, the renamed American Association on Mental Retardation lowered the mental retardation “ceiling” to an I.Q. of 70-75,but many mental health specialists argue that people with I.Q.s of up to 80 may also have mental retardation. Flexibility in the I.Q. standard is important because tests given at different times may show slight variations due to differences in the tests and because of testing error — the standard error measurement on I.Q. tests is generally three to five points.”

I'm not talking busing, they must live in the District and pay local taxes. I agree there could be issues if the socialist government pays their rent and ghetto housing crops up in communities. Thus, these should be zoned out, but most politicians are corrupt idiots so there needs to be mechanisms for it to work.
Understood.
If you send one minority kid there, and he is pretty much the only one, I could see it helping.
The problem is once you send a bunch of minority kids there, they will just hang around each other, and nothing will change.
you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink
You can force a kid to school but you can’t make him think
Define “better”.
Throwing more money at schools does nothing. In fact, in every instance I’ve seen, throwing more money at “diverse” schools only makes them WORSE.
curious....was the criteria to define “proficiency” changed in any way?
Where I live they loosened the criteria for graduation requirements. Then spent months touting the new, higher graduation rate. Meanwhile all standardized test scores declined.
But the ignorant applauded the higher graduation rates and gave the superintendent a raise and contract extension. AUGH???
That is proven correct, more $ definitely does not create better schools.
One thing that would make every public school better is if they were given the ability to remove the disrupters and bullies from the classroom.
Universal education is a privilege we have bestowed upon on our children, and should not be wasted on those who not only refuse to learn, but prevent others from learning.
A co-worker, a black lady, has her children in a charter school where, among other things, the kids wear uniforms consisting of slacks, a white dress shirt, and a tie. Saw a class picture. Nice, inspiring.
No, but better parents can.

This is what Larry Elder has been saying for 25 years - repeatedly - and was one of the major planks of his campaign against the odious Gavin Newsom.
He especially wanted to help black/brown children to get free of government schools.
Larry just lost in landslide so it appears the parents of children in California's government schools are A-OK with an educational system that repeatedly fails their children.
White proficiency in both English and math is 66.6%. Proof that white people are evil.
