[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. Phasing them out would seem to be the logical extension of a march toward equity and a reduced emphasis on tests. [/quote] Agree - these types of classes should be phased out entirely.[/quote] Where I live only 1% of students in the district are black (California). We have much higher percent of Asian and Indian students who make up a good portion of AP classes. These tend to be the most diverse classes. I guess school districts can do whatever they want. But this is a global society and we do have some responsibility to produce highly educated citizens who can compete & advance our medical, health, technology, financial and infrastructure systems. We don’t do this by reducing expectations. [/quote ] That you see including black kids in GT as lowering standards says more about you than anything else.[/quote]
