[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher in a school system that does have significant racial inequities. My observation is that the problem isn't that "AP-type classes (are) raciest" as much as it is that the pathway to get to AP classes begins with TAG selection in elementary grades, and the TAG identification process is without a doubt racist and inequitable.[/quote] This. We keep identifying problems yet refusing to address root causes. You can’t fix inequity in HS, college, or beyond by putting on band aids. Dumbing down AP classes helps no one. Neither does taking them away. You want more kids to be ready for AP? Fix early education.[/quote]
