[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else find the title of this thread INCREDIBLY racist and offensive? [/quote] The racism is what drove and still drives the achievement gap. Discussing it isn't racist. In fact the title seems the opposite of racist. The OP asked if schools were getting better, or the implied alternative is whiter but not better. It's acknowledging that whiter may be seen as better but that doesn't mean they are getting better. Think first before you get offended.[/quote] Or even more simple than that. The influx of white kids are raising the text scores, graduation rates and college rates which are then being showcased by the district without a corresponding raise in actual quality of the system its self.[/quote]
