@rationalhumanis@conor64 No, it's definitely also the staff. Most of the public school teachers I worked with were either the laziest piece of shit ghetto fatasses this side of the welfare office or pink haired gendergoblin commies. And the admin are WORSE.
Conor doesn't get it. If you grade the homework, the black kids fail. If you suspend troublemakers, they're disproportionately black. Both of those things constitue racial discrimination on the grounds of "disparate impact." The teachers literally do not have a choice.
As sympathetic as I am to principals and teachers, if you run a school that routinely fails to supervise young kids at lunch, or that neglects to review a student's math work for errors, *you should be fired.* That no one demands this or imagines it possible is a problem.
@ThomBrady5 It would be an excellent time for them to try the maneuver; it seems obvious that the left is irretrievable for their interests at this point.
@realmikolson You get like 300 engagements total, pro and con, and this is the third time today you've posted about how "big mad" the right is at you. Dog, nobody knows who you are. I used to read the Federalist and I had no idea til I saw tweet from you last week. Take it easy, killer.
@JDRockwellJr Some of the problem, but not enough unless they're largely freed from preposterous curriculum requirements (you should have seen the 50-page single-spaced "skills checklist" for a bunch of kids who ultimately couldn't read or tell time). Also need a free hand with suspension.
@constans The biggest grift in education besides the bloated administration is the ed consulting circuit; I was subjected to countless seminars and workshops and they were all tedious and irrelevant bullshit. And the presenters know exactly what they're doing; they used to teach.
If you followed on the basis of this comment, consider following my main @RWBB4U , where I will follow you back once I'm off suspension for suggesting that perhaps the GWOT should have been less focused on international aid and development, given certain events preceding it.
@annakhachiyan I mean, you'd think it would make a difference but I worked at an essentially all-black school and it was still lowest-grade-50% with immense pressure to pass anyone who turned in any work at all, I mean even literal gibberish. Suspension only for SERIOUS violence. Also:
The teachers and admin at these places are a combination of the laziest black government employees you can imagine and the most turbo-pozzed communists on God's green flat Earth. The latter half SERIOUSLY BELIEVE that if you're suspending black students, the problem is YOU.

@kingfisherb90 The parents will sue, represented by shysters on contingency. The districts are terrified of this publicity. You should see the people who work in inner city public school administration. We are not talking elite human capital here.
@CoryBrady14 Yes, ours had that too. It is extremely common. On top of that there's immense pressure to bump them up to 60 so they pass. I just quit instead.
@TheFactFinderr@MissingBoss I'm not excusing it or saying it's good, I'm saying that parents trying to win the ghetto lottery will sue at every opportunity (about the only time they give a shit, in my experience,) and districts are extremely averse to the suits and the publicity.
@constans Wait til you hear about how the lowest grade teachers are allowed to give is a 50%. Yes, for zero work. In fact, sometimes missing assignments are simply not graded and the graded ones are on the 50-100 scale!
@ShamashAran If they check the homework, the vast majority of black students will fail, the state will pull accreditation, and the administration will all be fired. And we can't have that, can we?!
@conor64 I've worked in one of these schools. If you grade the homework, the black kids fail. A huge number of them. You can't have that if you're an administrator; the district will get sued. Teachers are responding to incentives. Until disparate impact is gone, this is what you get.
