Culture war over ‘white privilege’ won’t help disadvantaged children, headteachers say

“I agree that schools should exercise caution over the use of controversial terms and should avoid stigmatising any students on account of their ethnicity, but it is stretching the bounds of credibility to suggest that this is a significant cause of the underachievement of white students from low income backgrounds.”

Lol teachers working from home didn't either

I think the idea of white privilege comes from a lack of knowledge about how people really live, due to lack of integration. People have the wrong perception and would be surprised to find out that the majority aren't so different afterall. Few people live truly privileged lives.

Four labour members failed to recognise the damage that telling impoverished white working class kids about privilege is, to both ethnic and white children and, distanced themselves from the report in an act of cowardice and self indulgence. Truly lost.

They can surely see which children pose the biggest problems, get the worst results & are least capable of performing core skills. That has nothing to do with colour or percentages of colours, simply put there are far more white children struggling, as there are more of them.

Well I guess they will always have WP, so will inevitably always be in better advantaged position compared to other hues, irrespective of how disadvantaged the headteacher claims.
