The Public School District Cycle of Life
2nd December 2019
Having followed school test score statistics since 1972 and noticed that almost nothing ever changes other than that Asians are now pulling away from the field and American Indians have suddenly collapsed, I’m alway struck by the flat learning curve of public school policymakers. They constantly go through a cycle of
A. Raising academic standards, only to discover, to their shock, that blacks and Hispanics are hit hardest,
B. After which they lower standards to increase Diversity-Inclusion-Equity (DIE), only to discover to their shock that Asians and whites won’t go to the dumbed down schools.
