我有一个密友，前花街人，在家闲了几年，总想回报社会。几年前，看见苹果城里有个 teaching fellowship机会，心想能去差区教平穷人家的孩子，我就能make a difference. 太好不过了！
去申请，电话面试，几个问题以后被问到：Do you feel you are privileged? 我朋友可能没跟上政治lingo，回答说：I came to this country with nothing. I earned everything through working hard. 意思是我哪谈得上有什么特权啊？
In spring 2022 the rate of A’s, Bs and Cs awarded in math and English was higher than before the pandemic.
For example, in spring 2019, about 69% of eighth-graders earned A’s, Bs and Cs. In spring 2022, that had gone up to 79%. There was also a 10-percentage-point increase in the rate of seventh-graders earning A’s, Bs and Cs in math.
At the same time, students since the pandemic show deep declines — about 72% of students across all tested grades in L.A. Unified did not meet state standards in math and about 58% did not meet standards in English in the spring 2022.
In 11th grade, 81% of students did not meet math standards. The numbers were even more distressing for historically underserved students. For Latinos, 85% of 11th-graders did not meet standards in math. For Black students it was 89%.
Meanwhile, 73% of 11th-graders brought home A’s, Bs and Cs in math in spring ’22.
我今天看到好几个新闻报道了。

这是很差学区或是垫底学校吗？我知道DC有些公校是基本上考试都不达标的。这个对于我们华人应该算好事吧。
游泳，还有体操进入州冠军赛。。。好像美国学校上至校长，下至老师，没人care学习成绩，只care体育成绩。
还是平均分遥遥领先。
老中认为重要的老美觉得不重要
其实我们都是过来人， 你真的觉得标考重要么， 比如我们高考？或是分数？
混的好的跟读书好的没啥关系吧
而且老师经常还罢工。。。
这孩子没法教。

我说100 分和80 分很难讲哪个出息， 你就跟我说， 难道0 分比100 分出息？ 逻辑啊逻辑
从来没看到过谁进了奥数的？
也没啥了， 每年进藤的也不少， UC也是50 录取率
不去这些学校的alternative就是参加gang, 在街头贩毒犯罪。在学校呆一天，就减少了和社区里坏人接触的机会，这就是积极的作用，非常可悲。这些都是白天子弹乱飞，家里没有父亲的社区。

对社会有用的人，买单也是有意义的。就怕这样的帮扶法，会有越来有多的人愿意加入底层家庭躺平。还是中国人的文化传统好。那些贫困地区的孩子，给他们一点资助，真是会好好用功，摆脱贫困。

只有community有自救意识，重建传统家庭，社区才会复苏。你知道70年代前黑人虽然受歧视，但是家庭还是完整的，后来民主党人来推行social welfare, 经过50年的努力逐步到了今天的地步。你觉得80%的孩子都是婚外生的社区是什么样子的？参见Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit.
有学历有资历有地位的人，他们为什么看不到你看到的这些points？美国的前途真令人担心。
只有理想破灭心灰意冷离开这一个结局。中国的希望小学起码孩子们都努力上进老师也受到尊重可以认真教课。

他明确说我不在乎学校是否有名气, 只要给体育奖学金, 还是个不错的academic学校就行。

然后就没有然后了。她去和家里人解剖分析，她女儿说：我的妈呀，你怎么这么不会说话的？你能在花街干活，当然你是privileged. 你难道不知道这些问题的正确答案是什么吗？
我朋友无言以对。
Bronx Science 每年光MIT就20几个，这个学校还不是最好的磁校。
不同的氛围。娃以后混社会，三教九流都会接触一点。
能合群，内心努力就好。
