Closing the Gap in Minority Achievement – Dereck BokChronicle of Higher Education
Closing the gap in academic achievement and SAT scores has not diminished over the last 15 years
Performing well on the SAT does not always guarantee that an African American student will not struggle
Lower grades and SAT scores only accounts for half of the racial gap the other half is underperformance
Dr. Douglas Massey who wrote, “The Source of the River” says a survey of 4000 students regarding underperformance has determined that poorer preparation to learn, low self-esteem, and inferior public schools has contributed to performance problems
Dr. Massey also confirms that minority students exhibit more concerns about their intellectual ability and self-doubts. Putting students into remedial classes only reconfirms that they do not have the aptitude to succeed.
