[quote=ChenLing][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is direct from Chen Ling's website:"The diversity of backgrounds has the potential to enrich the experience for all children. It also creates risks that children will fall behind or face safety risks due to bullying or juvenile behavior."

Is he really saying what I think he's saying? Diversity of backgrounds creates safety risks in his world! [/quote]

As an Asian, there is a lot of antiblackness in our community. Not surprised that Chen says it out loud.

He may be the candidate for the small vocal AEM crowd, but going to his website is eye opening, so thanks for the prodding. I can’t vote for him.[/quote]

I'm trying to say exactly the opposite of what you're implying. What I'm trying to say (apparently unsuccessfully, and it is clumsily worded), is that right now APS is failing minority students. We need to not only have high expectations for all students, but provide the right support so that all students can be successful. For example, right now APS allows you to retake exams or turn in assignments at the end of the quarter. This benefits students who either already know how to take advantage of these to inflate their grades. Same for the Paper virtual tutoring -- it tends to benefit the already who are already privileged, and fails those students who are actually struggling.[/quote]
