Siebra Muhammad A Registration Clerk/Specialist at New Orleans Public Schools Those standardized tests in the schools are culturally biased to begin with. Wednesday, April 29th 2009 at 2:17PM

robert powell co-owner at self I am an older person and I remember a time when achievement by descendants of americanSlaves did well when we were taught in our own schools and not the ridiculous state schools with no money or love. I was able to put my children in private schools and 4 have graduated at the top of their classes from prestigious usa universities. In my parental obligations I always keep my children away from the decadent cultures of rap and hip hoping! I believe that these cultures have more to do with the low achievement of american youth of slaveAmerican descent than bush programs or clinton or obama programs. These so called culture points give us; "no snitching, you acting white, no pants over the behind wearing, disrespecting women, colors, drug usage, we the victims and all the decadence of a defeated people. Lets do as Our Leader President Baraka Hussein Obama does and take responsibilty for our lowsy youth and work in our communities to correct this Decadent Culture.

Dee Gray Provisioner at Cannot Say I'm sorry. No Child Left Behind was (is) a joke. Why? Because ALL children, poor white ones included, got left behind. This is one where I don't see race being the issue, but I do see the incompetence of the former POTUS all work her for sure. This PROGRAM was (is) a joke, and it didn't just affect the minority. Not all white people are rich and some them do come from "the wrong side of the tracks". Everybody who needed this program got left behind...swooped! Blessings...

Craig Amos Graphic Designer & Publisher at Amos & Grant Advertising Design All I can say on this topic is every man for himself. Unfortunately, I know far too many Blacks who don't give a f*ck about their kids' learning. I also know first hand what impact caring parents have on their offsprings. Besides, the report indicated that test results were up significantly, so why the upheaval? Just b/c White students' scores were high doesn't mean much; only that students overall are doing better.

Dee Gray Provisioner at Cannot Say Craig, you pose an interesting point. If the scores were up and that was the goal, then what you've said is true. What IS the big deal? And I, too, know plenty of black parents who could care less whether or not their children do well in school or even go to school. So it's not all "the man's" fault. My 2 daughters' first line of defense against ignorance, lack of educational goals, lack of life goals period, is ME. I'm teaching them that they definitely want to be somebody. I'm teaching them that education is the key that opens many, many doors. I encourage them to do more in the community and to learn more...more, more, more. More parents need to step up to become their children's 1st and most fervent advocates. Blessings... Thursday, April 30th 2009 at 8:24PM

Siebra Muhammad A Registration Clerk/Specialist at New Orleans Public Schools Sister Dee, 'NUFF SAID!!! This discussion need not go any further after your comment. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. Friday, May 1st 2009 at 12:04PM

Dee Gray Provisioner at Cannot Say Siebra, thank you, Love. And Roderick, you've said something here, too. I come from the school of thought that "it takes a village to raise a child" and this has proven true over and over again in my house. My children have me, their dad, my mother, my brothers, teachers, ministers, and other like-minded parents. We all participate in each other's lives. If more of us could go back to the root of our successes as families, we'd all be a lot better off. Blessings... Friday, May 1st 2009 at 7:55PM
