[quote=Anonymous]And yet another article: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/schools-debate-gifted-talented-racist-elitist-80830623 The bottom line is that the country is ideologically split. Half the people view everything through an equity lens and the current program is not delivering that. Or at least some people can’t achieve the grades to enter the classes. The other half of the country is more interested in offering a class to anyone. If people can cut it they can cut it, if not then we’ll that’s tough. I don’t think you can just claim it’s all systemic racism that’s responsible, although it factors in. Why are poor Asians students the ones who make up 2/3s of enrollment into a school like Stuyvesant, that has a race neutral entrance exam, and why so they thrive there? They’re farms students. Is it from being pushed by their family. How do we stop lowering the educational bar? Is this what is driving Republican gains in Virginia? Obviously, there is this issue of perceived “crt” being taught, but is this issue of dropping advanced classes in favor of equity also a factor in Republican gains? There are so many weird confluences with education and testing and achievement.[/quote]
