72 percent of Asian students and 61 percent of white students statewide met or exceeded standards in English, only 32 percent of Latino students and 28 percent of African-American students matched that achievement.
In math, scores were lower and the gaps wider: 69 percent of Asians, 49 percent of whites, 21 percent of Latinos and 16 percent of African-Americans met or exceeded standards.
When you always get “Marque dos por EspaƱol” and institutionalized acceptance of Ebonics, then speaking, writing and reading English will never become the norm.
Bilingual education and acceptance of Ebonics as cultural norms only assures people will be illiterate in TWO languages.
6.2 million public school children currently going through the progtard indoctrination process in California. And they are going to have to lower the bar again so they can all graduate.
So glad I moved out of that state before they got a hold of any of my kids. I have one kid working on a masters and another finishing up a bachelor’s soon to start on the master’s, 1600 miles from that progressively fckd locale.
“It’s unreliable to try to make any comparison,” said Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction. “It’s apples to watermelons.”
Watermelons??? Is he talking about the test results or the students? Where are the PC police? I detect some privileged micro aggression all up in here.
Two plus two equals five because Big Brother says so.
Ah, come on now, you’re kidding, right? How can that be?
I be a dumass. Huk’d on ebonics werks fer me and new math/common core made me a dummy. Give the poor kids a real edjamacation and maybe just maybe they might learn something. Brought to you by the NEA and the democrap party, dumbing kids and particularly minority kids down since the 1960’s.
No matter what puny human minds conjure to try to change the equation this has been the outcome throughout history and will continue to be the outcome!
The liberal way to fix this will be to dock points from the Asians and Whites so everyone is equal.
Welcome to the bigotry of Liberal Low Expectations!
The ones who perform poorly in English and Math are too busy excelling at Entitlement Excuses 101.
Ding-ding. Common core will level the playing field by dumbing down the upper tier of our students in the educational system.
That report is obviously racist.

Good thing prisons have low entrance requirements.
I hope there will someday be a rally at which I can hold up the un-PC sign:
ENGRISH NOT LACISS!
The truly sad part is that the honkies and chinks aren’t too fuckin brilliant, either.
The 3 R’s are paramount, forget all this other sh** and get children learning times tables by rote, spelling properly, with proper sentence structure first.
Once this is achieved, get as fancy as you like with teaching them.
It does not matter who is in control or how much money is spent – the Bell Curve effect is an irrefutable fact.
This is easy to fix. Just lower the standards…..Again.
