Excellence in Education Versus High-Stakes Standardized Testing
The evidence is missing for high-stakes standardized testing of either intelligence or achievement as a reform tool, a tool for producing higher student achievement. The focus on invalid testing allows us to ignore the well-documented importance of the quality of teaching as a key factor in student achievement. There is no doubt that teachers can become powerful agents in raising the academic performance of children to high levels, regardless of …

The Meaning of KMT (Ancient Egyptian) History for Contemporary African American Experience
Behavioral Style, Culture, and Teaching and Learning
For more than a year a bitter debate raged in the state of New York over a 1988 State Department of Education school dropout report that focused on minority children. The New York report cited certain passages from Hale's (1982) work, Black Children: Their Roots, Culture, and Learning Styles, and a document I prepared for the California State Department of Education entitled Alternatives to IQ Testing: An Approach to the Identification of Gifted …
From Hurdles to Standards of Quality in Teacher Testing
In 1983 Florida's state legislators proposed adoption of a merit-pay plan for its public-school teachers. One requirement in the plan that met with strong opposition, and was later dropped, was that applicants for merit pay must possess a master's degree in the subject they teach. The ramifications of this requirement are exemplified in the following excerpt from a 1984 Education Week article. Only 36 percent of the teachers of the year are eligi…
A Response to Cultural Consensus
The Schools' Response to Youth Unemployyment
The key to understanding of relief-giving is in the functions it serves for the larger economic and political order, for relief is a secondary and supportive institution. Historical evidence suggests that relief arrangements are initiated or expanded during the occasional out-breaks of civil disorder produced by mass unemployment, and are then abolished or contracted when political stability is restored. We shall argue that expansive relief polic…

Psychological Factors Associated with Language in the Education of the African-American Child
In June, 1976, in southwest township (Soweto), a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa, a student rebellion broke out. The immediate trigger for this rebellion was the requirement by the white minority (Dutch) government of South Africa that the Black majority be required to use Afrikaans, the language of the Dutch, as the language for learning in school. In the view of Blacks in South Africa, this would be tantamount to the extension of existing …

Equal Educational Opportunity and Quality Education
This article presents a reconceptualization of the role of culture in the attainment of equality of educational opportunity, and a discussion of how the use of culture in education can be a vehicle of either liberation or oppression. It shifts the focus of educational problem solving from that of victim analysis or the analysis of minority deficits to an examination of the forces of racism and oppression as they have been and are reflected in edu…
