No matter where you test them, today in Nwe York-

Racial gaps cited in Regents exams -- October 15, 2003

Minority students are disproportionately punished by the Regents exams
New York students need to pass to graduate, an anti-testing group
claimed Tuesday. Time Out from Testing found that disparity
particularly acute in Albany, just *51_percent_of_black* students
passed the English exam...

For students in Albany, 88 percent passed, compared with 96 percent
statewide, according to state records[...]

The poor passing rate for black and other minority students has long
plagued the Albany school system, officials acknowledged.

"I'm not surprised at those numbers," said Albany school board member
Ed Brown.

Intelligence and genetics are highly correlated. I made a post yesterday
demonstrating that the correlation coefficient of intelligence between
identical twins is an astounding 0.85. This high correlation exists even
when the identical twins were adopted and raised by seperate familes.

There is no getting around genetics.

Who's yer daddy, boy?!

Absolutely. It'z just incredible that professional educators
can keep talking about the DAFN "achievement gap" as something
that can be fixed with changes in the schools. All the evidence
to the contrary is so overwhelming.

The *DAFNgap* is genetically embedded and *CANNOT* be 'fixed.'
