Nikole Hannah-Jones admitted in a recent essay for the New York Times magazine that she had erred in sending her daughter to a struggling New York City public school in the name of social justice.

...

PS 307 actually spends a whopping $52,000 per student each year more than three times the national average of $16,526. The school also benefits from a smaller-than-average student-to-teacher ratio of 9 to 1, and teachers make more than $100,000 a year on average.

Meanwhile, at nearby Community Roots Charter, which is also in front of a public housing project, more than 80 percent of students are proficient in math and reading despite the school spending less than half of what PS 307 does ($26,000 per student), according to the Manhattan Institute.

...

This lack of accountability measures seem to have impacted Hannah-Jones's daughter.
She explains that Najya was one of the brightest students in her class, but she still could not pass the state algebra exam. Hannah-Jones recalls finding her daughter's math folder filled with ungraded assignments that included mostly the wrong answers. A school literacy coach told her that Najya's teacher had "most likely never performed the school's mandatory reading assessments for Najya or any of her classmates."

She is still undeterred:

Hannah-Jones, however, focuses myopically on racism and funding as the causes of the poor academic performance in schools like PS 307, with little evidence. Her preferred solution is a system of forced integration, in which white and Asian students from wealthier areas would be made to travel to schools in poorer, blacker neighborhoods to achieve some demographic equilibrium. Hannah-Jones portrays the associated challenges longer commutes for students, transportation expenses, and the dissolution of school ties with the community as justified sacrifices in the pursuit of equity.

...

In addition to ignoring the role of teacher unions, Hannah-Jones shows no interest in examining how students' home lives might be impacting their performance in school. Family structure is the strongest predictor for problems at school, according to a recent analysis from the American Enterprise Institute. Children living in non-intact homes or with unmarried parents were 47 percent more likely to have their parents contacted by their school than were children from intact, married-parent families, the analysis found.

It doesn't appear that Hannah-Jones learned anything from her mistakes. She still feels like it is all racial oppression.

My leftist brother did this to his daughter in Lubbock. One year in "the hood" was all it took before she was switched to her neighborhood Jr High. She's an interpreter in Tokyo now…….he might well have influenced her in ways he had not intended.

For those who aren't making the connection this is the author of "The 1619 Project" lunacy that basically says America really was founded by the first slaves who arrived in 1619 and has pushed to have it taught around the country. Worst of the worst.

If you ask most parents if they want their kids to do well in school, they will say yes.

If you ask them what their role is in making sure their kids do well in school, most them won't have a clue.

This idiot is one of them that doesn't have a clue.

Democrats run education because Republicans ceded the field. And teachers unions aren't getting rich in Texas. They don't have much power here.

This is exactly why I don't want the left in charge of education. The dem politicians in Texas constantly criticize Austin in that they don't get enough money to do their jobs in education. But it's been proven time and time again these dip****s do nothing but waste the money and scores go down while teacher unions get richer.
