My district does have an influx of people from Africa, I will admit.
I rented one of my houses to such a family, but that is a story for another time.
...I will say also that our 8th grade scores put the other districts to shame (among the highest levels in the area), but the high school was our downfall.
like this generation migrated from Africa? Cause that seems awful close to saying that folks that had many systems tilted against them for a long time aren't up to par with folks that had systems working for them. As a higher post pointed out, catching up takes more resources than coasting on the hand downs from systems of generations past.
