[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me what is so bad about tracking? [/quote] Because for the most part it shows whites and asians in top classes and other minorities in the lower classes. [/quote] Showing where someone is placed by a guidance counselor or parent request does not show if they actually belong there. I’ve taught white and Asian magnet students who were struggling unproductively, but were not allowed to leave our program. And I’ve taught black and brown students in on level who belonged in Honors, but were told it was “full”. Meanwhile, my friend who teaches in a nearly all-white public school in AL says tracking is bad for her lower income white students because they are stuck in boring, meaningless classes for four years. The naturally bright ones can’t get the prerequisite skills to move out to college prep and the average ones don’t even know what they are missing.[/quote]
