I have had several Indonesian students who have produced about 300 pages of composition and 6000 arithmetic problems a year. Little kids living in small villages on Oil Palm Plantations in Sumatra. Their (terrible 1-room) school has been closed down due to Covid LockDown for 15 months.
I pay their moms $5 per completed set of 1 page composition and 20 arithmetic problems.
Their dads earn about $170/month as plantation workers (modern-day slaves).
They are 100% interested in the MONEY, not the academics……and would never study ANYTHING AT ALL except if they get paid…..
Nearly everybody in those villages is functionally ILLITERATE, never graduate Junior High School…
Do the math….
California spends over $1600/month/student in public schools…..that's over $16000/year/student and look at the ponderous results…
While $5/lesson is $150/month/student…..
Under $1600/year not a month like in California…
Cali kids write ZERO pages of compositions
and mostly work ZERO arithmetic problems…
just be better if schools are more up-to-date back when I was in school the books are 20 years out of date and the teachers didn't give a damn about much of anything except when they was getting paid
…Mr. Sowell is all about the facts…like what the Bible actually says…as opposed to how certain people want you to "think" what the Scriptures say…
…they want people to do the wrong believing they are doing the right thing…
It is poignant that the word futile pronounced by an American sounds the same as feudal as spoken by a Brit.
Has anyone taken up the idea of “not working as hard” and explored it not only in view of social and culture rationale but in organic terms, both genetics per se and physiology as the manifestation of genetics. One explanation I have heard for failure to reach academic expectations at high school level is that blacks reach physical maturity earlier than whites. Could there be other chemical processes at work that have not yet been explored.
When the headline says "Thomas Sowell debunks lies" I expect to hear Thomas Sowell. These videos are misleading.
Oh.
Do we really need studies to show us that the attitudes toward learning and achievement in the home are critical as to the success rate of students from those homes? The parents of many different cultural groups place high importance on the academic accomplishments of their children. Other groups do not. The former group is always going to succeed at a much higher rate than the latter, regardless of race, and irrespective of government financial intervention.
Promoting programs like Black English and Ethno-math will further lead to academic failure, and failure in general life.
We have an education cultural problem, and not a racial problem.
Unity (the way Martin Luther King has expressed) is the main ingredient for the success of a society, especially, when it is diverse.
Thomas Sowell tells it like it is.
"Acting white" bro. Yeah sorry but we only want street hustlers, pimps, gangster rappers and hoes in our colleges. We want to keep it real know Im sayin.
Regardless of color, I`ve never heared of a person having a high degree of education that speaks in a dirty southern dialect.
Yet Historically black colleges are praised and acclaimed. Like so many excuses made for for black people the education narrative is nonsense.
When I came to this country, the school wanted to give me all my classes bilingual. I declined because that would have never helped me improve my English and also develop the ability to write English better. Crippling method never help, it is only a bandaid to fix a bigger problem with a major ugly outcome. We need to promote education more in this country than the scheme of getting rich quick. But again everything is getting really expensive and no one really cares about quality anymore. Make sure that your kids spend more than 6-8 hours a day studying and no video games until big holiday breaks. Great communication skills will help you in many way in life.
I expected to hear Dr
Sowell speaking.
Another great professor, Eddie Gauld, check him out.
I was smarter than any white student in my class!!!
This man should have more subscribers. The knowledge being given in this talk alone is very helpful to straightening our diversity divide
Maybe blacks should start at home and instill a work ethic like the asians and jews. Can't expect the movement to fix all your problems. Get private tutors if care so much about you kids education, push into their heads the importance of an education.
How come asians succeed and jews succeed in the white system but black don't?
If those despicable Race Mongers Of today ever listened to Thomas Sowell, their brains would literally explode!
If it really was just funding, then they need to move their funding from their sports programs to their academic studies because blacks have no problem succeeding in sports.
After working in Richmond county Georgia for many years trying to help through academic realignment the students who were desperately falling behind because of the whole language fallacy, in many have been passed on only to get it later which they didn't. If we could go back to some of the important cornerstones like wrote memorization of times tables phonetics just a few simple things are students would learn more retain more and be more competitive. Problem is most school boards have written off black students as being not able to perform at the same level as white students. This shows the racial bigotry long blacks and whites that sit on the school boards. Rather than raise the standards for all they have done down Richmond county schools that are producing graduates that cannot read or perform simple math functions
I think because of culture, the negative parts, education must be extremely difficult today compared to when I attended in the 80s and 90s, certainly more difficult before that, and mainly because of distractions. It's almost impossible to stay focused, no thanks to the Internet.
So true, I'm black and went to a black school in NYC and was terrorized, until i transferred to a white school in long island.
Too real.
The problem is that many Blacks live in Democrat dominated areas where systematic oppression of the working class and poor is common. Urban areas seem to have a problem with corrupt and ignorant in higher numbers than rural area and many of these take defund the schools system they are part of whet these people are administrators or teachers. Union monopolies protect the poor quality teachers while the poor quality administrators are also protected. The dysfunctional communities also introduce problems.
Cutting down of tall poppies syndrome!
Another Thomas Sowell book added to my list
If we had more Educators like Dr. Thomas Sowell? Parents wouldn’t have to worry about someone Transgenderlysing and Indoctrinating our Children. All day long Yahoo
They are not myths. They are deliberate lies.
All these Citations dont say anything about differences government resources given to schools attended by different races. U expect under resourced to do better? 😴
If black people do not encourage education then what explains the rise of blacks students entering universities or Historically black colleges.
One thing that greatly troubles me after I was run down by a truck with my Christian group and put on the street with epilepsy is learning problems are mostly causes because of unclean living
Cleaning rooms and clothes and having clean sheets and wearing clean clothes and clean pajamas plays a vital role in learning inhaling dust is very dangerous and prevents people from learning
Insects means there is debris somewhere that is effecting peoples ability to learn and even something as small as a clean room people.arent prepared to teach or even tell anyone about the importance
Separate was inferior because we FUNDED IT JUST WAY
When I came to United States, I barely speak English but I had one thing in mine head that I need an education. I never worry or think about racism or white or black or anything like that. I just focused on what I wanted. Finally, I got BS mechanical engineering, got a job, have family and place to live.
My advice, just focus what you want that is all!
The only racists I met before I was 30 were all black.
Just so you know WHITES ONLY is for WHITE SLAVES in USA 2 BLACK AND WHITE OWNERS. Black people and democrats REMOVED REAL HISTORY out the books that is causing black rage today! Black culture is WHITE CULTURE! CHITLINS is WHITE.
We blacks still face racism in this stupid country but there are ways to overcome it.
