So, as the article states, it is yet another activist court ruling forcing racial bias into the teacher certification system. If anyone can't pass a grade 9 math competency test after a BA or BSc and then a 2 year teaching program. Too fucking bad. You shouldn't be a teacher no matter what your racial background.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 8:55 pmFair enough Reef, but I don't think anyone here is accusing anyone else of being racist.2Fingers wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 12:02 pmThe part that bothers me is that if you do not agree with some of these decisions you can be made out to be considered racist or something else. I am not involved enough to have a knowledgeable opinion but I hope there was a proper lens applied to the decisions vs. trying to stifle peoples opinions.Mëds wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 11:46 amThere's nothing to discuss.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 11:51 pm Looks Iike no-one wants to discuss this shit anymore.
Topper makes a joke to escape the debate, as usual.
Mëds has nothing to say, so becomes dismissive.
You can all have your echo chamber back then.
There is no reason that racialization has any bearing on college graduates being unable to pass a grade 9 level math test.
Remove the test because it has no bearing on the qualification of the individual applying for a teaching job (when math is not what they will be teaching). No need to scrutinize it based on race.
Anyone who is really interested in the reasoning behind this decision can read the court ruling here. It's not too hard to understand and you can skim some of it to get to the important parts. I wouldn't have commented on this issue without having at least understood the reasoning behind the court decision. Most people don't do that and that's a pity.

Getting rid of racial bias should be the goal, not entrenching it.
Lets raise standards and be a better society instead of dumbing down to the lowest 5th.
