Alan C. Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Detroit Public Schools: 93% Not Proficient in Reading; 96% Not Proficient in Math In the Detroit public school district, 96 percent of eighth graders are not proficient in mathematics and 93 percent are not proficient in reading.That is according to the results of the 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress tests published by the Department of Education’s National Center for Educational Statistics.Only 4 percent of Detroit public school eighth graders are proficient or better in math and only 7 percent in reading. This is despite the fact that in the 2011-2012 school year—the latest for which the Department of Education has reported the financial data—the Detroit public schools had “total expenditures” of $18,361 per student and “current expenditures” of $13,330 per student.According to data published by the Detroit Public Schools, the school district’s operating expenses in the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2014 amounted to approximately $14,743 per student.Nationwide, only 33 percent of public-school eighth graders scored proficient or better in reading in 2015 and only 32 percent scored proficient or better in mathematics. A resounding success if you're churning out Democratic voters.
RCali Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 33% proficient in reading??? What the heck have the kids been put up to there?
st434u Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 To be fair to detroit, there is a strong racial component here. As of the 2010 Census, the racial composition of the city of Detroit was: 82.7% Black or African American; 2.8% Hispanic whites*1 7.8% non-Hispanic whites 1.1% Asian 3% from other races 2.2% from two or more races*2 0.4% American Indian 0.02% Pacific Islander *1 (most of which are mestizos)*2 (mestizos and mulattos would not be counted here, mulattos would be counted under black) Compare this to the 1950 census, merely three generations ago: 83.6% White*16.2% Black or African American 0.1% Asian *There is no hispanic modifier for that date.
The Sage of Main Street Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 To be fair to detroit, there is a strong racial component here. *1 (most of which are mestizos) *2 (mestizos and mulattos would not be counted here, mulattos would be counted under black) Compare this to the 1950 census, merely three generations ago: *There is no hispanic modifier for that date. What "King's Horses and King's Men" Anyway? The ruling class hates and fears all other White people and wants to humiliate us with this proven unrealistic idea of racial equality. The education money wasted on the dumbbells of the Bell Curve should be spent paying excluded-class evolutionarily superior students for their grades. Until Whites quit selectively blaming the government, Democrats, and liberals, Right on cue, and shames the entire united Establishment, we have only ourselves to blame for allowing ourselves to be insulted by such a tiny Paper Tiger elite. The Whiteys Hating Whitey are also cowardly, incompetent, and degenerate. Only cradle-to-grave intimidation, when these weaklings are nothing to be scared of, could have embedded us with our slavish resignation.

Jer Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 But without the government who will spend 18k/year per kid and still not teach the children to read?
Taiga Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Detroit's Public School system has not ever been UNDER Funded Ask the Detroit City Council of the last 3,4 decades where they banked the money ( personally) as in individuals " scraping" a bit off the top ( allocated money / tax rev for the schools) they to take " just SUM" for themselves, as in I ' am owed" the old - "no one will notice" Then is the " literal" " bondage" of ignorance that is alive well and kicking the Divide -there are several dividing lines within Wayne County, Oakland County, Macomb County it's the invisible line, that some persons challenge the same way today 2015 as they did in the mid late 1960's - " parents who continue the monster" - No education for you I am not sending you to learn the White Mans " English" - Hate Whitey is not upon " individuals" it's broad spectrum " Authority" who most are Black " within Detroit City Politics" - not Wayne Co these are two separate entities. It's Ignorance - based on Fear. Fear cripples persons. It's not an excuse to continue the mistakes by not investigating. Everyone is losing, and the corporations are making $$$ hand over fist. When the majority is voiceless, and do not entrust anyone to " tell their fears to" that they realize if they are to do this, it will be used against them ( eventually) you have a continuation of " ignorance, anger, frustration" - which breeds and continues persons to settle, to remain the " haves and have not " their world seen thru a Kaleidoscope - Yet if they truly understood the Kaleidoscope is real, this is in favor of them = Daily it changes this does not remain the same, this were " paying attention, communication, being engaged" leads persons to being active, " being a part of the betterment" instead of the negative: which is expected. If you want to see Detroit - where it's been, how many areas remain blighted since 1968, that never recovered, not truly. Even cities, blocks, which have been under " outright" attack carry scars, energy is felt in the sidewalks, the buildings, it's felt in the frequency. it's Real Footage, there is No Sound, I think watching the footage is enough to understand the picture I was near or around 2 yrs old - and my parents lived less than 5 miles from, where this footage was captured. https://youtu.be/LMzPLiow8lw
