[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The students who jumped the victim are reportedly students at Whitman. They are not from the area originally. They live together in a state-sponsored program for juvenile offenders in the neighborhood. [/quote]

Whitman parents trying to differentiate between "real" Whitman students and "fake" Whitman students are pathetic. They are all in the same school! [/quote]

True, but the shelter kids tend to be pretty short term. Whitman can be a challenging environment because many of them are several grade levels behind and even the 9th grade level is a challenge. So they skip classes. The school really tries to work with them but they often end up going back to their families in other parts of the state. [/quote]

This.  Honors for all is not a great idea when people are behind.  It is too hard and they check out.   It is not fair to them or to anyone.  [/quote]

Many kids did not get a good education and cannot read and write well.  Many people failed them.  Green tree isn’t short term.  It has nothing to do with Whitman being a great and challenging school.  Whitman like the schools they were previously in ignored and failed them.  Not such a great school after all.  [/quote]
