[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting much of Ibram Kendi’s theories have influenced the course of public education in the last few years. The idea of getting rid of Gifted and Talented classes, tracking and dismantling AAP out of “fairness.”

Basically lower the bar to allow more people to pass the grade. Even if it makes the entire country less productive and forces classes to teach to the lowest common denominator or to disruptive students.

Basically an all around watering down to achieve a perfect society, except that, as shown by test scores, and a 38% increase in violent crime in DC year over year from 2022 to 2023, this type of idealism based approach isn’t practical.

I'm generally progressive and think equity as its being used in schools is a load and would prefer they meet all students where they are and accept that not everyone wants the same outcome.

Nevertheless, the problem with your theory is with the exception of the years surrounding the global pandemic, test scores have gone up since the 90s. [/quote]
