[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MAP student views this as purely a race problem and an inequities-in-schools problem.  If she were correct, putting everyone in the same classes would solve the inequities.

But the real problem is about socioeconomics.  The kids with highly-educated parents have been benefitting educationally from that since birth.  You can’t solve that at the high-school level just by putting everyone in the same classes.  [/quote]

Are you talking about this quote?

[quote]I don’t want them to just say ‘no’ to one solution and not do anything about the problem. I want something to be done to address the actual issue: inequalities within schools and across the District.[/quote]

If so, I’m not sure you’ve diagnosed her concern correctly, especially given this near the end of the article:

[quote]When conducting a survey from a large number of students, Burgoyne says that they received “overwhelming anecdotal evidence that students were not signing up for AP classes because they did not feel safe in those classes.” [/quote][/quote]
