Do Good Teachers Leave When Black Students Enroll?

This shouldn't be hard to figure out at all. Black students are typically more disruptive, louder, less prone to following directions, more likely to not do their homework, and also not care and ignore all attempts at teacher management in the classroom. This is a simple fact from my own observations as a teacher. It makes you want to pull your hair out when you spent the first 30 minutes of class to just get students quiet enough to start class! Writing them up doesn't work, calling parents doesn't work, yelling, punishing doesn't work, and then the students complain about how boring class is, while they then go back to talking with another student! What person in their right mind would stay in a place where they knew that their classroom was going to get MORE of that!?
Acting like this is some sort of mystery is complete idiocy. Teachers don't want to deal with all the problems that having a majority of black students causes in the classroom.

These games are awesome and the graphic is awesome as well,I recently playing them days and nights!,and I definitely agrree what up floor said. I would like to play the game with updated graphics, but then again, I think they game should be "perfect" and faithful to the original. Another I gonna buy some shoes and clothes ,you guys give some advises for me about below websites at ****.Thanks

The eBook entitled: The Bamboo of Blacks in School is FREE at www.LifeSportsMatrix.com.
It offers tips on how to reach and teach black students, all students. That's my Christmas present to you.

Большое спасибо за инфу! как раз что искал.

IQ tests were written for Whites but the Asians score better! Blacks in Africa and USA both score lower (so racial predjudice is just a lying excuse). What is not disputed: IQ is a good, general predictor of future employment and income. 2005, MRI research proved that Asians have an average of 1 cubic inch More brain mass than Whites. Whites have an average of 5 cubic inches More brain mass than US Blacks. Yes, brains do matter..

IQ has been used, tested and analized for 100-plus years now.
USA military uses IQ-based test.
All test, SAT, GRE, math, science, all test g: general intelligence factor.
IQ is normed at 100.
IQ 115 is high
IQ 85 is low.
Most test in 100-range.
15-gap between blacks and whites have been known for over 100-years now.
Truth will set worl Free.

By the way, Mr. Hernandez, as I have requested before, please post these studies or at least post where I can locate them.
Reading the majority of these comments its easy to see the biases with which the "researchers" are embarking. You are in great company!!
If you read my previous, very long, post then you and I both have way too much time on our hands. My sarcastic humor is not meant to be disrepctful. Its just that Blacks get tired of the same old stuff.
Looking forward to your next post.

I have a perfectly good understanding of rudimentary statistics. Newsflash!! Statistics are not real numbers.
My question is why do these "statistics" always seem to correspond with centuries old philosophies? For centuries Whites have asserted that Africans, as well as every other group, were intellectually inferior, way before any such plausible "studies" were performed. Due to an archaic legacy of discrimination, I am sure that a random sampling of American Blacks would yield less than desirable results than, say, a sampling of native Africans who perhaps may not have been as poisoned.
"Low intelligence" in American Blacks is not innate to the race but likely a result of low expectations. A simplistic example is taking a set of twins and from infancy instilling in one that he is stupid and worthless while affirming the other. Who will score better on an IQ test? Now imagine that those two children are a Black child and a White child. Intelligence is influenced by DNA but exposure and expectations makes a world of difference.
I am Jamaican and you will find that there are a higher percentage of highly educated Blacks in the islands and Africa than what you will find in America. The large percentage that migrate here are here for academic and professional reasons. Despite colonization, most of us have managed to develop a strong sense of who we are and our potential. Education is a goal taught from infancy. I daresay a random poll of Blacks from other places would yield much different results than those you came across. But those who are conducting the research have their own agenda and will not dare stray from that path. Doing so will probably cause them to question deeply held prejudices and beliefs. But you are the intelligence researcher so why not blaze a trail. I dare you.
Another group you may want to look at is the fast growing group of African American homeschoolers of which I am a part. Many of us have realized that the current education system is designed to "de-intellectualize" its children, particularly Black children. With the growth of this group, a random poll of Blacks in, lets say, 15-20 years will yield results that show that intelligence is not innate to race but is a result of many other factors.
My reasoning, though not buttressed by lofty statistics and science, is based on real life observation and relationships. Research does not speak with people but deals with the "human-animal".
According to statistics my sister and I should have been pregnant highschool dropouts and my brothers incarcerated (all but one college educated and all doing well!!) My parents, yes I am not a bastard, well, my mother should have been a single parent on welfare (oops, another stat. down the tubes). And what of my father the architecht? Hey how come no one polled us? A Black immigrant family of six. What do your statistics say about us? Please accept my humor.

Cecilia,
You obviously don't understand rudimentary statistics. We are dealing here with curves. Being hispanic or black does not mean you can't have an IQ of 135. There are just fewer blacks than whites in those ranges - there aren't a lot of whites up that high either. The center of the bell curve for blacks is 85; for whites it's 100. For "hispanics" (a dubious racial category anyway) it lies somewhere in between.
What does this all mean? In a random sampling of 100 blacks, most will be within one standard deviation of 85. In a random sampling of 100 whites, most will be within one standard deviation of 100. This conclusion has been tested again and again and again and there is no credible scholary, intelligence research to dispute it.
As for how hereditary an individual's IQ is, that is less certain - some estimate 50% others around 70%. But even in this case, it is quite rare for a child's IQ to be more than one standard deviation away from the parent. If two parents of 135 have a child, chances are that child will have an IQ of at least 120. Chances are better it will be higher.
As for why there are so many low IQ's among blacks, look no further than behaviors associated with low IQ, among which includes having a lot of kids out of wedlock. Further, poverty is correlated strongly to both IQ and single parenthood of too many kids. As is the case with middle class whites, middle class, higher IQ blacks simply have fewer children than lower class, low IQ blacks. The result is that, over time, the lower IQ blacks become a greater and greater proportion of the black population.

Intelligence reasearcher!! Please spare me. I would love to see the results of your "research". For which firm do you work or do you draw your conclusions from your delusional biases.You have haughtily raised yourself above Whites, Blacks and your fellow Hispanics. A little humility and honesty goes a long way (emphasis on honesty).
