[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very disheartening to believe that people can be so blatantly raciest in this day and age. It should be celebrated that black kids from lower socioeconomic circumstances are performing on par and out performing rich white children. The message you are sending is that poor black kids cannot succeeded without cheating. Is that what you really believe? The teachers and students at Ludlow Taylor should be rewarded for the school's achievement but instead you all are tearing them down and accusing them of cheating without any evidence. The district should try to replicate the strategies from Ludlow across all schools.[/quote]

You might want to relieve yourself of the chip on your shoulder for a little while.  Many kids who attend Brent are not really rich, whatever you consider that to mean, much less white.  In matter of fact, a sizable part of the low-SES and AA cohort has been more or less concentrated in the testing grades, principally as a legacy of Brent's not-too-distant past as a OOB destination school.  The academic achievements of students at one school can and should be celebrated without denigrating another.  What is working for LT students might not necessarily be best for those at Brent, and vice versa, at least in terms of testing results (which I find to be a not very meaningful tool for assessing school or teacher quality and added value).  The important thing is that both receive a solid foundation for their future academic successes.  [/quote]
