My blogmate has pushed a series of misguided posts about what he perceives as misconceptions regarding the schooling process. Because he is critical of our flawless schooling system, he is obviously wrong 110% of the time. As a fake teacher, I'm obviously the purfect person to disprove his points. I'm also 110% confident that my conclusive nonsense will be so flawless that nobody will make the mistake of believing his more rational arguments.
The good news is that we have done a lot to narrow the achievement gap in our flawless K-12 schooling system. The bad news is that this hasn't shown much in terms of helping out minorities. Since helping out minorities is a part of our narrative, it can't possibly be wrong. That means the solution to the apparent ineffectiveness of our approach proves an increased need for the same approach.
Minorities would benefit by reducing the achievement gap in schools, if we further reduce the gap. Obviously, there are limitations to this approach in our K-12 system now that we insist that you must have a college degree in order to be allowed to succeed. This means that we need to enact the exact same policy for colleges. By reducing the gap in college, we will see drastically different results from when we made this same argument before.
Like everything related to education, more of the same is the logical solution for everything. If we continue to ensure paper trumps people in regards to opportunity, we can ensure that closing the achievement gap will fix everything. Like I have always said, this time will be different.
