There’s a reason black and hispanic kids aren’t in AP classes as much, and it’s not because they’re not naturally smart enough.

As a liberal I do not believe in this statement at all. Bring others up, not some down.

Yeah, fuck white parents from instilling the expectations of attending university kin their children from a young age. If you use your success to try and make a better life for your kids then you are an evil person.

Probably a decreasing trend.

At one point just finishing high school was a privilege. Now it has long been practically a requirement for life. College is not becoming the same thing. We still think of it as a privilege. Instead of arguing how we are going to mete out the few seats each year, we should be making more seats so that everyone that…

Yeah, like I really liked half of her article. As white parent I should feel privileged just because I do everything I can for my child to get into a good school?

But then grades have always not been that great at predicting college performance and job performance. So.... chops may be something else like critical thinking and drive.

Awesome take, Karen. While my story is slightly different. I attended college on the GI Bill and working 20 - 30 hours a week while taking 14 - 18 hours a semester. I guarantee you that I deserved it. As a matter of fact, I have a deep feeling that I way overpaid in sweat equity what I was given.

In Houston, white people will not put their kids in lesser schools or live in those zip codes. It just plain looks bad.

I think it is called discovery. Something they get to do before heading to the courtroom.

So, they hurt your feet, require good ergonomics, require you to stretch and move during the day, and you recommend taking sitting breaks throughout the day...

Yeah, but inflation....

All the Masons and Greysons are growing up fast as well. Nearly 50% of all boys born in the last decade had one of these names.

They are in St Louis... NASCAR... racing in pickups.... kinda describes the mindset we are looking at.

True. And you don’t have to publicly respond to every opinion you hear.

Almost as fragile as a TV personality that takes anonymous criticism seriously enough to respond.

Boo hoo hoooo.

Ah, you live there? It used to be a cool little country town where you went to get good barbeque. It has now been absorbed by the retch that is Houston.

Makes sense. You would think the technology in most ATMs is sorely outdated. I have seen more than one showing an NT4.0 blue screen in the past years. Without extensive shielding it seems like a listening device could pick up everything going on.

Yep. If you have spent anytime in Houston you immediately understand who you are dealing with just by looking at the photo of the street they lived on. Cookie-cutter McMansions that all look the same, Baptist, guns, Republican, white, bleach blonde, daughters named Taylor and Madison. Yep, we have all met these…
