[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC should allow tracking at the high school level. That is the only way they will convince families to try their neighborhood high school. It would ultimately benefit all the students at the school as more students would mean more dollars for the school and would allow the school to offer a greater variety of electives and AP classes and additional extracurricular activities. AP courses should be open to all students. There are many kids of color who would benefit from the higher level classes as well. DCPS also needs to do a better job with Career and Tech education which is very weak at the moment. They should have a CTE school like Montgomery County and Arlington. No matter where you go to HS, you should be able to do a half day of automotive repair or HVAC classes if that is your interest. DCPS is woefully behind the times unfortunately. Every high school should offer a couple of CS classes [/quote]

After the courts struck down racially-constructed boundaries, white Washington though it would get clever by creating a tracking system where all the white kids were put in the college-bound track and all the Black kids were put in the vocational track. A few more years of litigation ensued, and DCPS is now also under a court decree saying it can't do tracking. [/quote]
