The Education Trust promotes high academic achievement for all students at all levels-pre-kindergarten through college. Our goal is to close the gaps in opportunity and achievement that consign far too many young people-especially those from low-income families or who are black, Latino, or American Indian-to lives on the margins of the American mainstream.
How about white low income students? Now having a well educated community with a high cultural standards is called privilege. How much those minorities have improved since ?? The problem is the suburbs subculture. Stop being racist to white people.

Here's part of the problem for Blacks going to college. "More African-Americans are going to college than ever before. But according to new research from the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, African-American college students are more likely to pursue majors that lead to low-paying jobs, setting up many for future debt and underemployment. And over time these occupational choices contribute to the wealth and opportunity gap between whites and blacks that spans generations." From: African-Americans over-represented among low-paying college majors PBS Newshour
The best way to avoid student loan debt is to not take out student loans. Black parents should plan for their kids to attend college via 529 plans etc. Also, most blacks receive the maximum Pell grant, so why are we still utilizing student loans for college. Avoid private colleges, Don’t attend out of state colleges, Do understand the total cost of attendance, Do find part-time work, Do Accept being a college student while in college and don’t try to live like you already have a full time job.
Reading, writing, math. That's what they should learn in school. Everything else they can learn on their own with those three skills. It's that simple.
Imagine going from an abusive home to a life in foster care, to persuasively arguing in support of a bill before the Texas Legislature. I understand the bill passed. Good for you, Ms. Thomas.
Very important to develop skills to move to higher education. Text centrality is key! Using the tools, we're dumbing down our students for not providing rigorous curriculum
Schools got $190 billion in pandemic aid, but the funds haven’t reversed learning loss August 27 2023 August 27 2023 15 hrs ago Cause All Teachers Unqualified only have Teaching Degree, not Degree of what they Teach. Sure if you want unqualified Teachers to Teach Teaching because they have Teaching Degree then they are qualified
Thanks @The Education Trust for posting this video about affirmative action / supreme court. Here are the viewpoints expressed by Supreme Court justices regarding affirmative action. 1) This case is about a group called Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) who sued Harvard College and the University of North Carolina (UNC). They said that these schools were not fair in their admissions process because they were using race as a factor, which they believed was against the law. The law they referred to is the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment*. 2) The Equal Protection Clause is a part of the Fourteenth Amendment that says that every person should be treated equally by the law, no matter their race, color, or nationality. The SFFA believed that by considering race in admissions, Harvard and UNC were not treating all applicants equally. 3) The Court looked at the history of the Fourteenth Amendment and how it has been used in the past. They also looked at how other cases involving race and college admissions were handled. They found that while diversity in a student body can be a good thing, it must be handled in a way that treats all applicants fairly and equally. 4) The Court also looked at the idea of "strict scrutiny*". This is a way for the courts to look at laws to see if they are fair and necessary. If a law or policy is found to be unfair or unnecessary, it may not pass strict scrutiny and could be considered unconstitutional. 5) The Court found that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC did not pass strict scrutiny. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not clear or specific enough, and it resulted in fewer admissions for certain racial groups. They also said that the schools' use of race in admissions seemed to stereotype certain racial groups, which is not allowed. 6) The Court also said that the schools' admissions systems did not have a clear end point. This means that there was no clear plan for when the schools would stop using race as a factor in admissions. This was another reason why the Court said the schools' admissions systems were not fair. 7) The Court decided that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC were not fair and did not follow the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not clear, specific, or fair enough to be allowed. 8) However, the Court also said that schools can consider how race has affected an applicant's life. They can look at how an applicant's experiences with their race have shaped them and what they can bring to the school because of those experiences. 9) In the end, the Court decided that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC were not fair and did not follow the law. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not allowed because it was not clear, specific, or fair enough. 10) So, the Court decided that the SFFA was right. They said that Harvard and UNC were not treating all applicants equally in their admissions process, which is against the law. They said that the schools needed to change their admissions systems to be fair to all applicants, no matter their race. *The Equal Protection Clause is a part of the Fourteenth Amendment that says that every person should be treated equally by the law, no matter their race, color, or nationality. *Strict scrutiny is a way for the courts to look at laws to see if they are fair and necessary. If a law or policy is found to be unfair or unnecessary, it may not pass strict scrutiny and could be considered unconstitutional.
Nobody has the right to force others to pay their debts. Government has no right to discriminate based on race. Government should get out of the school business altogether.
How are you CLOSING the wealth gap if white folks under your plan will also get their student loans paid off ? USING minorities as the emotional guilt Trojan horse, it seems ...
And yet Harvard bozos are trying to say homeschooling is dangerous and needs to be abolished or highly monitored. It's a proven fact that homeschoolers on an actual chart, are way more educated.
THAT’s the passionate, brilliant, beautiful, humanity-and-learning-loving Denise Forte I remember from our days as BRATs in Germany!💜 We’ve been looking for you, woman!😊
