Perfect: Nikole Hannah-Jones Didn't Just Send Her Daughter to a Failing School, She Sent Her Daughter to a School That Teaches Her Fraudulent "1619" Agenda

I didn't highlight an important part of Nikole Hannah-Jones' virtue-sacrificing of her daughter to boost her career as a professional race hustler. I rage-quit the article just a thousand words in.

John Sexton read further -- and found that the school routinely allowed fights, did not discipline students, and didn't even grade students.

Toward the end of first grade, Najya started sometimes saying she didn't like her school and complaining how chaotic it was at lunch. I decided to visit during the lunch period and was shocked by what I saw. Najya's class and another class were sitting at their tables in the cafeteria with no lunch and no adult supervision. Children were running wild, chasing, hitting and pushing each other while the teacher's aides and cafeteria workers stood by looking bored.
Several times, I had to instruct children to stop striking each other and to sit down, at one point physically pulling two boys apart. When I asked one of the aides why the children weren't being supervised, she told me the lunch period was short-staffed. After I sat back down with Najya, she told me, "It's always like this, and that's why I don't want to go to this school."
...
Finally, a few days before school let out for winter break, I received a folder in Najya's backpack with the math assignments I had been requesting since our conference. Once I tucked her into bed, I sat at my dining room table and scanned one page, then another and another. None of them were graded. I started checking Najya's work and discovered most of her answers were wrong. Najya believed herself to be good at math -- it was her favorite subject. But now I understood she thought she was correctly solving all her problems because her teacher was not checking her work. Similarly, Najya's writing assignments were rife with uncorrected punctuation, capitalization and grammar errors.

This isn't a question of money, this is a result of poisonous leftwing policy imperatives about "equity," insisting that grades are anti-equity as they separate good learners from poor ones, and that punishing any student is likewise anti-equity because good-behaving students aren't punished at all.

By abandoning all standards, a single standard is selected by default: the standard of the sewer, the standard of the pit.

Why am I just learning now that public schools in the New York city ghetto don't assign homework, don't grade tests, don't respond to parents emails or phone calls, don't supervise feral, fighting kids at lunch, don't know or care if their students can read or do grade level math, and give them As on their report cards when they are actually doing F level work?
Why did Nikole Hannah Jones bury this explosive lede?
Why isn't she writing emergency front page @nytimes stories about this shocking, incredible, abject citywide failure that costs people who pay taxes over $50K per student per year?
Why isn't she holding emergency all-hands on deck meetings with @NYCMayor
to shut this down, rescue these kids, fire everyone involved?
We all know why. But no one at the Times will say a word. LOL
Giving high school diplomas and 4.0 GPAs out to illiterate 18 year olds as reparations
it's really just as simple as that

"Equity" is the only thing that matters. It's pure Harrison Bergeron.

Remember, the only thing we need to do to improve failing schools is pay teachers more and give every student his own laptop.

It has nothing at all to do with ending all disciplining, suspension, and expulsion of chronically disruptive and even violent black students.

The Federalist notes that the deranged narcissist Nikole Hannah-Jones just happened to Virtue-Sacrifice her daughter at a shithole school that didn't teach students anything, but did waste time teaching her debunked, fraudulent "1619" thesis.

The failing school that race-grifter Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her child to used Hannah-Jones' ahistorical 1619 Project as part of its curriculum, public records show.
...
In 2022, Najya would have been in seventh grade and therefore a student at Unison for two years of the 1619 fabrications.
...
The basic premise of the 1619 Project is that the true founding of America happened in 1619 when the first slave ships with Africans arrived. Everything that happened after that, including the American Revolution, was really for the express purpose of continuing the institution of slavery, as opposed to any grander purpose like freedom, liberty, and self-determination. It is an "antiracist" project that has suffered withering rebuttals from historians across the political spectrum for its numerous errors, but the race-essentialist lens that undergirds it goes far beyond the false telling of history.
The "antiracist" movement as a whole means curricula across subjects, school policies on discipline, and grading are all rearranged to coddle particular groups of students based on skin color, while ignoring everyone else. Unsurprisingly then, "antiracism" is the essential premise of Hannah-Jones' essay, even though she tries not to admit it, and the "antiracist" elements described above were deeply embedded in the school she selected.
...
The racial programming appeared to work, as Najya herself, when looking for a more rigorous high school, said, "I'd never been in a school with white kids and don't think I really wanted that," but between it all, the true consequences of 1619-informed "antiracism" came out as well.
"Unison had eliminated homework because studies show that it does not have much impact on academic achievement, and that assigning it often sets up for failure students who are so academically behind that they cannot do the work on their own."

Some kids can't do homework therefore "equity" demands that no students do homework, including the more advanced students who could actually gain from it.

" Under the Unison system, students completed their assignments during class time where a teacher could guide and help if they got stuck. But for students like Najya, this practice proved absolutely harmful," Hannah-Jones admitted. "She'd bemoan how the less experienced teachers struggled to manage their classrooms and would expend so much attention on the small number of kids acting out that they'd be unable to complete their lessons or help a student stuck on a problem. There were occasionally fights in the hallway."
Instead of disciplining any children who acted out in class, teachers had to "refocus students and mitigate conflict" in real-time, meaning they had very little opportunity for actual class instruction. In the same sentence, Hannah-Jones claims that "this is good educational practice," and then adds, "but kids like Najya, who were just trying to do their work, saw this treatment as deeply unfair."
In reality such policies are unfair because not disciplining students deprives both misbehaving students and their more studious peers of educational consistency throughout the day. Like not assigning homework, or "equity grading," there is no accountability or rigor during or outside the school day, and students in such schools often end up advancing years in school while remaining academically stunted.

When her ill-prepared daughter finally went to a more academically focused school -- which was attended mostly by (spit) whites and (spit) Asians -- she found that her shithole school fake education left her woefully unprepared.

Her A's and B's at Unison amounted to failing grades in high school. She struggled to keep up with homework assignments and nightly reading, and because she "had never been taught the skills of independent study, ... suddenly the child whose identity had been the nerdy honors student was working harder than she ever had and barely keeping up."
An algebra tutoring center told Hannah-Jones that "Najya knew very little algebra and had huge gaps in many of the building blocks of math that she should have learned in elementary school, like mastery of long division and fractions."

Remember, the only problems here are "racism" and white people not paying enough in taxes to "resource" these schools properly. The problem is definitely not the destructive left-wing cult of "equity" that left-wing blacks have forced on their own children.

16 The other shocking statistic I have seen is how many public school teachers send their own children to private schools.

If one of the parents is a high earner, and they can afford a good private school in the area, THAT is where they send their own kids.

I can imagine no greater indictment than that for proving the sh*tiness of most of our public schools.

_____________________

Ummm....I know for a fact that I would not be allowed to visit schools in my area without a designated escort to and from the business office (or to what ever location I desired to see). It requires an appointment and supervision....and I was just dropping off items for a relative who had passed away which included 25 year old photos from in the classroom that I wanted to pass onto that graduated class for their upcoming Reunion.

Schools allowing strangers to just visit on a whim are insane (especially in a city setting). And, they certainly would have an escort.

23 Per student per year costs in major cities has exceeded $30,000. The answer to education is to fire all the teachers and administrators, bulldoze the schools and give the money to the parents. If the child passes a standardized test each year, the payments continue. If not, the money is given to a "educational advisor" to spend on the child's behalf. It's pretty simple.

Prior to joining the Army post college, both my dad and mom were teachers at a private school. My dad taught math and mom English.

Not only was my homework reviewed and graded it was then reviewed and graded by them. And every night at dinner we did math problems, geography, English and other frivolous stuff. Wasn't the biggest fan at the time but worth it.

I figure at least 90% of liberal excuses are women trying to justify their own horrific behavior. In a re-paganized society, it's jarring for them to suddenly be confronted with Christian morality, which they vaguely know, but utterly reject. That's where the whole "don't judge" thing comes in, because if there is judgement, they are going to burn.

66 This is child abuse to send her daughter to that school when she could afford the best for her.

Son #2 was having problems in kindergarten (public school in FL, a good school). The teacher was the same his brother had. I always volunteered once a week til 2nd grade.

I saw quickly that an apparent autistic or out of control girl was screaming for most of the day. I spoke to the assistant principal and had him transferred out and things got better within days for him. I was there for him, not being a Karen and screaming about the one girl as that was not my problem.

I don't deserve a Mother of the Year (or day) award but they always came first. In my career/jobs and everything around them til they were older. I could have been a big honcho at the med center but they came first vs a MS degree in nursing. Working full time was also not what I desired as I am a dingbat sloth first and foremost.

For this idiot to prove a racial point and donate her poor daughter to the cause is criminal.

78 There is an important datapoint that is being glossed over here.
Both Right and Left seem to be converging on the idea that school quality does not matter, On the Right, they claim good students do good wherever, and on the Left they claim that bad students are really good students who were oppressed.

The homework does not help achievement comes fro the Left, but then on the Right, just last night, I saw a bunch of posts on Twitter about how achievement of kids across different skills does not get a bump if they are admitted to the best schools. This looked at a couple studies from NYC exam schools -- the very best schools that test for admittance.

On the Right, I think a lot of it is an attempt to discredit the "systemic racism" claims, and on the Left I think it comes from an attempt to discount the poor performance of certain groups on that homework or tests.

It is interesting.

Tom Homan, following the 58th death in ICE custody: We're not gonna apologize. You can hate us all you want, we're not going anywhere. ICE will continue

67 illegal immigrants died in custody over Obama’s 8 years as President. He pushed for reform and lowered the death rate and improved conditions. Trump has killed 56 in just these first 2 years of this term and as you see in this video no reforms or apologies. They’re also raping and impregnating under this administration

Why did Obama have this evil fuck in his administration is what I need to know. That, and where’s the 50K bribe Tom?

How the people have not revolted against this lawless government will go down in history as a mystery.

Don't be surprised when this starts to happen to the I.C.E agents (image from 2020 LA Sheriff Ambush)

They are going to be fleeing to South America as soon as accountability comes out and they will be facing serious charges for the crimes!!!

Won't that be ironic that they are going to have to flee to South America where most of the people who they are deporting are from?

Even in the lower grades, too, you didn't get credit for doing the work correctly but then making an arithmetic mistake; oh, no, you had to have the exact figure. Under the pressure of tests, of course, you can get rattled, make an arithmetic blunder, and go off the rails. If we'd had calculators to check our work . . . but we didn't. And being nagged by my father did not help.

Mississippi (my home state) is mocked, but they did this right & kept back 3rd graders, black, white & purple, who should not advance years ago

I went to really good public schools in MS til the federal gubment got involved when we'd been integrated for over four years. None of us kids cared there were blacks at our school. Or, none I was aware of...and we are talking about a HS of 50 kids in each class.

The Feds changed school districts. This forced me & others to choose to skip our junior year by taking American Lit and History in summer school. I then had to go to a lily white private school I hated vs the all black school I was zoned to.

I went to a junior college, got some algebra, microbiology & other stuff (mostly English classes) and transferred to a huge university out of state.

Basically the Feds, not my parents, interferred with my edumacation and it is possibly nothing short of a miracle I got a college degree. Granted, speed reading and instant memory helped. Along with determination and my main goal of having a great time.

Regardless, this mother's actions are worse.

137 Best teacher I ever had was Mrs. Simmons. High school English. She called kids "Prince Charming" and "Slopface." She said at the beginning of the year that you could turn your homework in late--you'd get a zero mind you--but sure, turn it in. She also said that if you were in an accident on the way to school, give your homework to the ambulance driver because he probably had her for English and would know what to do.

No nonsense. She was the bomb. She is also the reason I know how to spell triskaidekaphobia.

They are very fringe figures, not anywhere near the mainstream of conservatism, which would rather see school choice, which would include private schools. Competition would then bring up public school quality.

I mean, there are states where that is happening. The IQ/genetics obsessives are borderline determinists and seem secular predestinationists.

In ninth grade we had a Japanese woman for English. (Mind you, this was only a little more than twenty years after WWII.) She liked my work, but was universally hated (including by me) because she insulted her students for no reason, calling us "You bright lights," and took all the joy out of reading and writing English.

156 I am reminded of the line, I believe attributed to Mark Twain, that people who do not read great books have no advantage iver peiple who can't read them.

Nicole Hannah-Jones had the opportunity to give her daughter a tip-notch education, even in that pit of despair tax money sink-hole she was attending, if she had actually paid attention and been a parent instead of dropping her responsibility on the local school district.

Not every parent really has the time or wherewithal to keep close tabs on their children's schooling, but Hannah-Jones did.

Her question, "In fighting for every black child, did I betray my own?" gets the entire premise wrong. If she was really honest with herself, the article would have been titled, "In sacrificing every black child's education on the altar of 'racial justice,' I bound my own daughter in the chains of failure."

Mrs. Simmons never insulted us without reason. If you were screwing around, or did poor quality work, she would certainly call you Slopface. Everyone knew it for what it was. Correction. Not humiliation.

She would also take lunch hours to help kids who were falling behind. Everybody knew that. Her No Crap policy was a bit part of her giving a damn. I expect that after the shock of being called Slopface, we had an inkling that it was very much done out of love.

165 My grandchildren go to Catholic private school. In a very good public school district. Their parent's choice and I am for it. I never tell them what to do with their kids (so far). Parents can afford it.

At least where they are the trans and gender confusion won't reach them. I know all the stuff about Catholic schools, yada, yada. It is a conservative school. High acedemics (I am shocked at our third grade boy's homework).

While he may find out this year there is no Santa Claus, he will not be in class with trans kids or kids who think they are kitty cats with a litter box required.

Our girl has already been in trouble in kindergarten. I am sorry my DNA has been passed on to her in looks and behavior. However, she's much smarter than probably 90% of her class, so there's that. She was also deprived of her best friend (who went to public school) and girls she knows (three classes for each grade). It's early so she may settle down (I don't know what she did to get in trouble and will ask her brother soon).

Parents would get ticked if their kid was not first chair. He'd calmly tell them they don't practice. One mother said that was HIS fault.

Another wacko mother got mad at him when she found out her daughter wanted to be called Seth. Right, right, right.
