You can "dismiss" what I said all you want, but the class of our immigrants matters. The Asians who come here are usually literate in a home language. You're no teacher, so you probably would not know literacy translates. A child who comes to us literate in a native language will be tremendously faster at learning English. Next, we've got the issue of home culture. Education is a religion with Asians- not so much for Hispanics. And how you can dismiss the fact that many countries stack their testing doesn't make any sense to me at all, nor does the fact that we have a huge, amazingly diverse country to educate, while other counties have much more homogenous populations. You can stomp your feet and tell this Hispanics to score on par, but they aren't. They, and the blacks, who score even worse, are problem demographics. The achievement gap is a problem here, but at least we aren't sweeping it under the carpet, like other countries are.
Your experience with education is obviously so limited, it's not really worth doing this again. So in future, when you post things I know are false, or are misleading, I'm just going to ignore them, because it's a waste of my time, but please, realize that most of the time I'm going to be disagreeing, but for the sake of efficiency, and not wasting my life, I'm going to do it silently. Best of luck to you with your future arguments here. I'm going to try not to read you, and in future it would be nice if you didn't post to me- I'm not ordering you, just asking. I can;t think of any positives I've ever gotten from a conversation with you, so I'm done. I'm not banning you- you're absolutely free to post to whomever will speak to you. |
