All the high tech tools aren't going to learn for you. Access to information has never been easier but it still takes effort to master concepts and apply them to new situations.
The education system and kids will continue to fail as long as they are allowed to shift responsibility for learning. But it's not what they want to hear, so their leaders aren't going to tell them (the ones that know).
It's so sick, twisted, and obvious.
Oh yeah the tech tools certainly don't, I might even argue they are worse. I mainly brought that up as an example of how it wasn't a funding difference.
I only did it for the money. The income from those school jobs I did were a huge part of why I didn't spend my 20s with a bunch of student loans.
I'm with you 100%.
The school funding implies that the [impoverished] kids want so badly to learn, but they just don't have the proper resources. If they only had pencils to write with and books to read and a building with heat then they could learn!
Systemic racism implies that the black kids want so badly to learn, but obviously the teachers and administrators are keeping them from learning to read, withholding knowledge, and access to information. If only they had ... wait, what?
These kids don't want to learn, their parents don't and didn't make education a priority. So all of the resources and all of the not racist [sic] policies in the world aren't going to educate them. All the talk of racism does is create resentful people who Burn, Loot, and Murder almost like that was the goal from the start.
