[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yu ying is now a mostly white and asian school.  Was majority african american, but no longer the case with lower grades.   Yu Ying "tracks" underachieving students into non-immersion track to "catch up" for the standardized tests.

All kids in the "catch-up" track are African American.  They have essentially figured out a way to track the underperforming  black kids away from the white and Asian middle class kids.    [/quote] I think you need to keep this all in perspective. Initially, the school was majority African American, therefore, most of the kids in the upper grades would be African American. Out of the group of underachieving kids, some kids pulled out and went to other schools ) we do not know if some of them was Asian and White. On top of that, the class contains no more than 20 kids, so most of the kids are performing on grade level. There are many African American kids performing just as well as Asian and White kids, some better!

We need to get ALL the facts before starting a witch hunt![/quote]Oops..."some of them WERE ..." [/quote]
