State lags in learning standards

Here is the part I want to focus on:

"The fact of the matter is that our students still do perform well on national tests and we have some other good results in place," Evers said. ACT college placement test scores released two weeks ago showed Wisconsin students performing at one of the highest levels in the U.S., as they have for more than a decade. And SAT college board scores to be released today are expected also to show strong results for Wisconsin students.

But the three education advocates interviewed Monday - who come from varying places on the political spectrum - said the national testing program known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, gives a much less rosy picture of the performance of Wisconsin students and finds that Wisconsin has some of the largest gaps in the U.S. between children from higher-income homes and those from lower-income homes, and between white students and African-American and Hispanic students.

First of all, this is a classic example of how "educators" think. These groups give WI bad marks for how they run schools, yet the kids out perform almost every single state. So, I guess those bad marks don't mean a damn thing, do they? See, educators come up with new theories on how to teach every few years, and I have noticed the schools and teachers who continue to do the best job ignore the "flavor of the month" and teach with the method that works.

Now the second question: Why are the white students doing such a good job and the minority students such a bad job on ACT and SAT? I have stated the correct answer many times, lets see what you say without me prompting you.
