It's crazy how many people want to see LeBron James fail.
Even when 8th graders fail a math test, it's seen as a failure for LeBron. Like he's LeTeacher or something.
"0% of 8th graders in LeBron's 'I Promise' School have passed the state's math exam since 2018."
The most important thing when a new headline comes out isn't the information that's mentioned, but the information that is deliberately left out.
Let's be clear: ZERO students passing is a bad thing. But there's more to this story mainstream media doesn't want you to hear:
🔸To qualify for the 'I Promise' School you must come from the bottom 25% of the state's reading exam.
🔸28% of students at the school have a disability.
🔸Most admitted students are not proficient in math at their grade level. They are years behind coming in.
🔸42% of these students progressed a full year in math, but they're not proficient at their grade level yet.
🔸The entire country is seeing reading and math test scores plummet since the pandemic.
🔸Overall, reading and math scores throughout America have been significantly declining since 2012.
Anyone can find this information, but most won't bother considering the only reason they're talking about 8th-grade math in the first place is because it's linked to a celebrity.
LeBron's mission is not just to make 13-year-olds pass an exam. The bigger purpose of his school is to attack a generational education issue in America. An issue where at-risk kids don't get the classrooms, teachers, and opportunities LeBron is providing at his school.
But the internet just doesn't seem to care…🤷🏽♂️
