[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 56574"] Ah susie, you make me laugh. "when black or mixed race children are raised in white rather than black homes, their preadolescent test scores rise dramatically" "Even nonverbal IQ scores are sensitive to environmental change" "Black/white differences in academic achievement have also narrowed throughout the twentieth century" "Black white reading gap has narrowed from a 1.25 in 1971 to a .69 in 1996. The math gap fell from 1.33 to .89." Not really all that much to report. There were problems in the 60's and 70's with black kids raised by and in black neighborhoods. When placed in a white home, the differences disapeared. I wonder why? Could it be a cultural difference that places more worth in a solid education among whites and not the black community? Could it be that other minorities are focused on other things besides education for their children? Could it be, just maybe, that the "language" that is spoken by many teens of minorities can barely if at all be understood by someone speaking english? You have all the answers, you tell me. How can a black child raised in a white home score the same as a white child? That would mean that they have the same ability. So what would make the difference in your mind? d [/QUOTE]
