What kind of education should African Americans attain?

History

Answer:

   Over the past few decades, African American students across the nation have made real gains in academic achievement. Yet, too many African American students still are not getting the quality education they need  and deserve, and the performance of African American students lags  far behind that of white students. These gaps in achievement are driven by gaps in opportunity — African American students receive  fewer of the within-school resources and experiences that are known to contribute to academic achievement.

    In this brief, we’ve gathered the best available national data on  African American student achievement and attainment in both K-12 and higher education, as well as on the unequal opportunities  that contribute to these outcomes. We hope that these data will be  used to spark conversation — and more important, action — about how to accelerate improvement and raise achievement for African American students across the nation.

Explanation:

   African American students make up a substantial proportion of enrollment nationwide. About 15 percent of all public school students — or about 7.9 million students — are African American. And in some states,  African American students make up a far larger portion of public school enrollment: Half of students in Mississippi and 45 percent in  Louisiana are African American. About a third of students in  Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, and South Carolina are  African American.  Opportunity and achievement for African American students  matter for all types of communities and schools. While many African  American students, 46 percent, attend urban schools, more  than half, 54 percent, now attend schools in suburbs, towns,  or rural areas. And while about half of African American  students attend schools where the majority of students are  African American, 26 percent attend schools where most  students are white.

In both fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math, performance among African American students has  risen dramatically in recent years, and gaps  between African American and white students have  narrowed. It’s important, of course, to look at student  performance across subjects and grades, but these two  measures are especially critical. Research shows that  without solid reading skills honed in elementary school  and a firm grasp of math by the end of middle school,  it is difficult for students to do well going forward.

Between 2003 and 2013, scale scores on the National  Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) rose faster  for African American students than for white students in  both fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math.

And these gains reflect real improvement in skills and  knowledge. Over the past two decades, the percentage of  African American eighth-graders who lacked even basic  math skills on NAEP has fallen from 81 percent to  less than half. Students at that level struggle with  things like applying arithmetic operations (addition,  subtraction, multiplication, and division) and with using  diagrams, charts, and graphs to help solve problems.  In fourth-grade reading, the percentage of African American  students without even basic skills — those who have trouble locating information in a passage, identifying the main idea of a text, or interpreting what a word means —  has fallen from 69 percent to 50 percent.

During the same time period, the percentage of African  American students performing at a proficient or  advanced level more than doubled in fourth-grade  reading and has increased sevenfold in eighth grade math. Far too few African American students are  performing at these levels — but the changes represent  marked improvement over past performance.

These improvements are encouraging. However, too few  African American students demonstrate the knowledge  and skills they need to be successful in school and in life.  And despite gap-narrowing, African American students  still lag far behind their white peers on NAEP.

In both fourth-grade reading and eighth grade math, African American students  are about two and a half times as  likely as white students to lack basic skills  and only about one-third as likely to be  proficient or advanced.

African American students are increasingly taking the steps  necessary for success after high school. Over the past  five years, the number of African American high school  graduates taking the ACT rose by 22 percent, and the  number taking the SAT rose by 12 percent. What’s  more, the number of African American graduates taking at  least one AP exam more than tripled between 2002  and 2012, outpacing the growth in the number of African  American graduates.

But despite these gains, there’s still a long way to go.  African American students remain underrepresented  among AP test-takers: 15 percent of graduates in  the class of 2013 were African American, but African  American students made up only 9 percent of those  who took AP tests. And even fewer — 5 percent —  of those who passed an AP exam were African American.

The correct answer is “preserve life.”

<em>The Personal Recovery proficiency that defines Captivity Models of Prisoners of War, Peace Time Government Detention and Hostage Detention is “preserve life.” </em>

When some element of the Department of Defense or a civilian is detained, missing or isolated in a military or foreign affairs operation, the government initiates a Personnel Recovery procedure under the supervision of the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency. The Personal Recovery proficiency that defines Captivity Models of Prisoners of War, Peace Time Government Detention and Hostage Detention is “preserve life”.

Discursive essay freedom of religion is abused by some churches
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Freedom of religion is abused by some churches

There is a famous maxim: ‘the nearer the church, the farther from God’. This maxim aptly describes the state of most of the churches across the globe.

The churches impose outdated, parochial, orthodox limitations on religion, seekers of truth. The most absurd aspect of these limitations is distortion of the word of God given by enlightened Messiahs, Prophets, Gurus, and Messengers of God. The churches force people to pay more attention to rituals and services than on GOD. Seeking God with all one’s heart, mind, and body is less important than religious ceremonies, hollow prayer services. Most of the religious formalities conducted are devoid of sincere devotion, love, and reverence to God.  

Hence, in spite of so many churches across the globe, there is no real God in them – only formalities. All the Messengers of God praised and worshipped God; but churches praise Messengers only. No Messenger of God intended to be worshipped and be the seekers’ ultimate goal. They intended the seekers to consecrate themselves to God realization. They gave the message of universal brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God. They instructed mankind to see God in all and all in God. But churches have their own doctrines to promote. As a result there are certain clashes among people following different churches.  

Churches should spread the divine messages of divine Masters and Messengers of God without any fanaticism. They should give unrestricted freedom to seekers and God should be the only priority. Only then churches all across will fulfill their purposes.
