[quote=Anonymous]It's not diversity; it's identity politics.

Kids are kids. They want guidelines, structure and rigor.  But instead of embracing some obstacles (language barriers, for example, or low reading skills), we make excuses for them based on hardships supposedly connected to culture or race.

I am PS teacher who's worked in challenging schools for most of my career.  My kids are in a cluster that's - for now - more middle of the road.  It's not heavily diverse, nor is it highly competitive and wealthy.  But it does have enough $ in the surrounding areas to keep the schools functioning at a high level.

I would never sacrifice my kids' learning in the name of diversity.  In fact, we should NEVER sacrifice learning for anything.  I don't care who you are or what your background is.

The excuses have destroyed public ed, and we're graduating kids who can barely read and write, giving them false hope.  Look at the college graduation rates.  Kids may be accepted, but they don't last beyond two years.
