[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP must be a troll--surely no one who's interested in the school has not figured out its name. But if she/he is not, plese search the archives because there are multiple threads that address these questions. [/quote]

I am the one who initially asked the question and I have no idea what a troll is...so your assumption is wrong. I did go back and conduct a search on Yu Yang, but since there are so many random discussions about the school I could not locate this topic. I do not have a child there; but I was concerned, as any person should be, that African Americans are being tracked in what seems to  be classes of low expectation.  If the school can not provide services for all children based on the mission that that they articulated and argued for, than what is the purpose?  This information was quite shocking.

And for those advocating that it is a multicultural space with lots of diversity, if the school's classes are tracked based on race under the guise of "academics and struggling students" than it is not authentically multicultural environment.   It is an example of a really bad message being sent to students about who has access and privilege and who doesn't.   [/quote]
