You give a black kid the kind of education an asian kid gets, they will kick ass.
Schools in Japan run 45 weeks a year, 23 of those weeks have half Saturdays. School runs from 7:30 to 6 including extra curricular, is which mandatory unless you have a job.
Korea is similar.
Here in Oregon, schools run 178 days, and two of them per month are short for meetings.
You compare successful groups against unsuccessful groups, the main differences are
1) intact large extended families
2) cultural imperatives on learning
3) high cultural rewards for hard work
4) compassion for but intense pressure on lower performers.
The main problems blacks face in this country are miserable schools, high rates of illegitimacy and divorce (pretty much fostered by low income problems) low family support.
I don't think these things are a school problem. I feel that they are more of an entitlement program problem.
