[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the advanced diploma is so meaningless compared to the standard diploma, why is Virginia getting rid of it? Why do they consider it a problem that not enough non Asian minorities are getting the advanced diploma. The DCUM consensus is that the advanced diploma doesn’t matter. [/quote] It's a problem that so many Black and Hispanic students seem to be[b] getting directed into a weak course selection[/b]. So now they will be required to stick with core classes for all four years. It doesn't take anything away from the kids currently pursuing the advanced diploma. This is what *actually* raising the bar looks like.[/quote] Some people prioritize education and others simply don't. There is only so much a school system can and should do.[/quote] Well you sound nice. Every child deserves the opportunity. This kind of regressive thinking creates a permanent under class.[/quote]
