Are you saying that brown people will not push themselves and try to participate/perform in the AAP program? Are you also implying that [b]by not allowing self selection we are making sure to provide diversity opportunities for brown people?[/b]

DP.  Yes, this is the reason that the program was expanded, to bring in more diverse students.  It hasn't been wholly successful.[/quote]

Well, currently we do NOT allow self selection. If self selection is allowed what would stop the diverse student groups from participating? We stop them now, and include a few. Most of their parents lack knowledge and ability to fill out a parent referral, and can't afford outside testing. Very few ones who are handpicked by the teacher, or have high scores get screened.

Anyway, it's OK as long as the integrity of the program stays intact, and level IV does not become just another regular classroom, which from what I read it seems it is already heading that way. [/quote]
