[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I’m not sure how you interpreted that. Wow - what a crazy stretch!

I’ve heard from folks in education that have be concern about AAP and the high numbers is that it often seems like White flight. Sad but true is that many immigrants/children of immigrants are unaware of how the education  system works.[/quote]

That's how it looks at my kids' (base) school.  If you look at the yearbook, grades K-2 are very diverse.  Grades 3+ are very brown.  Basically, all of the South Asians, the majority of the East Asians, half of the white kids, and basically none of the brown kids head to the center in 3rd, which greatly changes the demographics of each classroom.

I'm confused.. Are you calling the AAP classes "very brown" because of all the South Asians or are you calling the non-AAP classes "very brown" because most of them are left behind in non-AAP?[/quote]

Most of them are left behind in non-AAP.  I should have said African American and Hispanic children, but earlier in the thread, people were talking about AAP excluding the "brown" kids.  I just continued with the terms already being used.  [/quote]
