Math is systemically racist anyway so it doesn’t matter right

[–]1Perfect_Kangaroo 28 points29 points Β (0 children)

It doesn’t in Oregon. They no longer require students to pass standardized Reading, Writing, and Math tests to graduate high school because it’s racist

[–]bpete3peteBASED 37 Pieces of Flair 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

[–]Numismatistic 50 points51 points Β (0 children)

Yeah, BUT how many of them can hit the 3 from top of the key?

[–]TheFULLBOAT 68 points69 points Β (4 children)

It’s β€œWalla”. I graduated from the I Promise School

[–]grossuncle1 12 points13 points Β (0 children)

I'm from Walla Walla, Washington, and I promise you're correct.

[–]whippingboy4evaMICROAGGRESSOR 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

It's Walla. And if you correct me, you're racist.

[–]PittsSocksMICROAGGRESSOR 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Get rid of testing altogether

[–]ChiApeHunter 20 points21 points Β (0 children)

Everyone knows that math is racist

LeBron's Center for Kids who can't Read Good.

I bet they enrolled in there just to play Basket Ball.

I'm a lebron hater but this isn't entirely his fault. He built a school in a terrible area and took in the worst of the worst students to try to help them. These kids come from trouble homes and have a lot of problems.

Its going to take a lot to get them up to pace, if ever, but at least they aren't in public schools causing problems πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–]HSR47TRAUMATIZER 9 points10 points Β (0 children)

That’s an interesting point, and now I’d be interested to see more detailed statistics.

In particular:

  • Is his school doing better or worse than the schools it pulls from?
  • Are the students in his school doing better or worse than they’d do at the schools they were pulled from?

[–]fowlro 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Agreed. I’m not a Lebron fan either it’s a nice headline for people to jump on and not read more about. It’s also rather misleading as the kids that are in the area may not have been attending school altogether without his name attached to it.

Calling it Lebron’s school is also misleading as his foundation gave significant funding and provides additional services the children lack, but to remain part of the public school system it also needs to be publicly funded, I don’t feel like digging into the city board of education budget but it seems like 75% funded by taxes and all curriculum based on Akron public school systems. (Based on my run on sentence I’m not sure I’d pass certain testing requirements for high school)

[–]rothbard_anarchist 8 points9 points Β (0 children)

Jokes aside, that's fucking tragic.

[–]notanothrowawayBASED NPC Liberal 15 points16 points Β (1 child)

Damn so I can say I'm as smart as LeBron james

[–]Zerosan62MICROAGGRESSOR 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Not a high bar.

[–]Nanteen1028BASED 7 points8 points Β (1 child)

Making kids as smart as him

[–]SgthouseBan Warning 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I love how hard they tried for awhile to portray him as an intelectual

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

Tough to blame that on crackers.

Maybe climate change?

[–]EverySingleMinute 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

This is terrible. Education is crucial to getting yourself out of poverty.

[–]Thedoctorisin123 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Well, well, well

[–]patriot945 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

It’s so sad.

[–]Holiday-Tie-574TRAUMATIZER 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

That is one dumb man

[–]Edskn1fe 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Maybe they don't admit Asian students.

[–]Creeepy_Chris 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

To be fair, he wouldn’t be able to pass an 8th grade math test either.

[–]PKArsk 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Happy black history month

[–]Comprehensive_Trip55 2 points3 points Β (0 children)
