ROS and Eleven-Bravo sent us a link to the LA Times<\/a> which makes the case for reducing homework in LA schools because it’s keeping students back, somehow from something;<\/p>\n

For while the days of actual Jim Crow laws in California may be gone, Latino and African-American school children are profoundly segregated and at a serious disadvantage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Imagine how segregated they’re going to feel when they get culled out of the herd of employable people because they think they can bitch and get a lesser work load out in the real world (not to be confused with the MTV show).<\/p>\n

From LAWeekly Blogs<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Based on the theory that homework is more likely to be completed by kids with a secure home life and involved parents — aka, the white middle class — LAUSD is forcing teachers to cap homework at 10 percent of a student’s grade, beginning next month.<\/p>\n

“The policy is intended to account for the myriad urban problems facing the district’s mostly low-income, minority population,” writes the Los Angeles Times today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, less education is the answer to the myriad urban problems.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Ramirez, a junior at the Santee Education Complex, doesn’t have his own room and his mother baby-sits young children at night. “They’re always there and they’re always loud,” he said, explaining his challenges with homework.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not at all like a workplace, huh? It’s funny, but many educators have discovered that every time they make demands on a student, the student at least meets those new challenges…and students who aren’t challenged also meet those expectations. <\/p>\n

And they wonder why the world thinks Americans are unemployable.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
