[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am no expert, but I think it was a matter of systemic racism. Students of color were more likely to go to low performing middle and elementary schools so their scores were lower and too often the majority white teachers didn’t identify/recommend smart black kids for the honors classes. This is why the county has been changing how students are selected for magnet programs, taking high fliers from each school. Whatever the specific reason, the fact was that honors classes used to be majority white and on level classes the reverse. So I don’t want to go back to those days, but 9th and 10th grade classes that are a mix of abilities are so, so hard to teach, and smart kids, Black and white, get disillusioned with humanities by sitting through them.
