@bryan_johnson Man you're losing it. Keep it simple. Eat healthy but also its okay to have some sweets once in a while. Excersise. Get some sun, enjoy life and have fun until it's our time to go. Wish the best for you.
Our education system is failing miserably
Black American is asked to read this simple sentence
The only words she can read is the word ‘funding’ and a couple more but can’t read or even pronounce most of the other words
Here are the English proficiency score percentages according to national data
Elementary School
- White students: ~35–40% proficient
- Black students: ~15–20% proficient
Middle School
- White students: ~30–35% proficient
- Black students: ~12–18% proficient
High School
- White students: ~35–40% proficient
- Black students: ~15–20% proficient
Now obviously there is a gap here where white students are twice as likely to be proficient at reading compared to black students but that’s not the point
The point is nobody passes on average. Even at 40% that’s less than half our kids finishing high school proficient at English
This is horrible
We waste so many of our resources trying to civilize them, educate them, police them, and incarcerate them. At what point can we be free of this burden?
