Students, teachers, staff address racial barriers to the student achievement gap

[natedaug1]

Interesting but you hear this argument often. Everything can become "systemic" in regards to race relations, and as a result of racism of racism or systemic issues. While racism exists, I think asian americans refute the statistics that the achievement gap is all the result of racism. Also holding the "system," accountable completely excuses the individual of responsibility. It is actually a combination of both, but chronically falling back on race, can itself become an excuse.
