Talking Equality

This article entitled "Talking Equality" is about how Black and Latinos are lacking in the PSSA and how Whites and Asians are getting proficient and up. Arlene Ackerman emphasized how Blacks and Latinos, mostly males had severe disadvantages because of the work and achievements. Poor student are up for grabs because of the poor work their doing. Black and Latinos lag about 24 points behind Whites and Asians in the reading and math PSSA.

Many teachers are reducing the class sizes because of the kids the are not doing so good. About 59% of the students in the emotional support classes are boys. They're trying to say that African American boys are doing much better than the females. White make up just 12% of the high school students but 28% of those in magnet schools. About 11% of Blacks and 10% students of Latinos in Highschool are in an Advance placement classes compared to 32% of Asians and 24% Whites.

I agree that most whites are smart, but I disagree that we black don't do well on the PSSA. I think their basically saying that we Blacks are dumb and we don't accomplish anything. I think when Blacks think about it we can do anything and get good grades as well as score Proficient or even advance on the PSSA or class test. We people children are having diffulculties in class but all we and others have to do is ask for help or do extra work. This is what I think about the test scores on the PSSA.
