I'd be interested to see the stats broken down by wealth rather than (or in combination with) race.

I can imagine some families being hit a lot harder by COVID related fallout.

But the message we're supposed to take from this, according to the tweeter is "see, these people are just genetically inferior, we should stop even trying to teach them and focus on the children of the wealthy" right? Because, if lots of people are failing then the "progressive" policies seem to make even more sense.

> P.S. The obvious solution here is that a lot of teachers need to get fired.

That came out of nowhere, how does that follow from the info provided? Kids chronically absent during a pandemic, fire the teachers?

Wealthy people in SF largely send their children to private schools, and I don't think private schools are included in these stats.

Just sayin'.

There are degrees of wealth and the evidence shows they closely correlate with race in America.
I'm impressed at their honesty. They could have gimmicked the stats to make themselves look good. Why did the SF school district take the step of gathering such negative numbers apparently honestly?
Probably they are required to. There are lots of required-to-track stats, and it's almost always required to track by race in the US.
