[quote=Anonymous]I don't hate the idea of equity, but it will not be achieved unless you dumb things down.  It just can't.  Academic excellence should be the goal.

My child benefits greatly from the equity goal.  He struggles a lot in school and is a getting a lot of good help that he would not get in private.

But no matter how much help he gets, he will NEVER be as good as the "smart" kids.  Equity fails us all.  EVERY kid should meet their full potential.

My nephew just graduated.  school was easy for him.  he admitted so and never challenged himself - he admitted.  took a few honors and AAP classes - but never too many - just enough.  never studied.  got straight A's.

All I could think was goodness, why aren't we challenging these kids?  We NEED really smart people to solve all the problems, to be good doctors, to build safe buildings.  but fine - dumb it down so my kid can catch up and get A's and smart kids DO NOTHING to be their best and just skate by.

AND this kid was given all the awards, but never worked hard.

My son, works really hard and will never get an award.  it is so dumb what we are doing to society.  We need hard workers - praise that.[/quote]
