The test results have always been very high until a few years ago when I noticed more low, low scores. The chairman of the school board is a friend so I asked him why this change occurred. he said that there has been a significant increase in "minority" children moving into the area and that of the kids with the 50 lowest scores, 40 of them were either Mexican (10) and black (30). The Mexicans had a continuing incerase in scores as their language skills improve, but to black kids continue to have low skills and get lower as they get older. These are not middle or upper class blacks, but are in the lowest economic class in town. He said they just don't give a shlt and neither do their mothers (no dads present here). They live as they please and see no need for education. I don't see this attitude changing given the present administration. Very sad.

If it were up to me I would always give preference to someone who allready speaks English. You would have to lose the Ausi accent, though. Sorry.

We have two friends that teach in different middle schools in relatively good areas - not slums. Both teachers say that any black kid in their classes who has tried to be a good student was/is ridiculed by the rest of the blacks (even his friends) for "actin white" THAT IS A DIRECT QUOTE from the black kids - as related by the teachers. That student soon gives up because it is just too hard to 'shovel against the tide'. We also have a couple black familys as good friends. One of our black friends has a son who ridicules his father (IN MY PRESENCE) for "actin white" for paying his bills and being a responsible citizen! That too is a DIRECT QUOTE out of the kids mouth and hes in his mid 20's. Not from an ecnomically stressed family. They live in a good neighborhood, maintain their property, salary probably in the mid to upper 80's combined now that the kids are old enuf for mom to work too. As long as that is the attitude, there is no help the system can give them. 'Jus ax em dey'll tel yas hows its ar falt'. BTW those who 'will never be anything but McD burger flippers' Dont be surprised if one day they turn out to be the airline pilot that flys you around* or the surgeon who does your appendectomy. * maybe even overfly -your- airport by couple of hours.

Second, you can't use such a small group to represent the whole. It's called stereotyping or generalizing and it's not good practice if you want people to take you seriously. Lastly, no one is a lost cause as long as they will open their mind. That's some advice directed right at you.

I'll bet Johnsma22 understood it. Your public education didn't teach comprehension?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
