[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] But people are already beyond frustrated at the slow and low pace of the gen Ed curriculum around here. Forcing everyone to do that is not the answer and “in class differentiation” is a lovely idea that in practice short changes the quicker kids the vast majority of the time. [/quote]
