[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If they reduce the # of kids doing advanced math the % of Asian in upper levels will probably *increase*. [/quote] The reason it's likely social engineering is that it looks bad when you have a decent sized contingency of almost entirely Asian 6th graders taking Algebra, and then another group of disproportionally white and Asian kids taking it in 7th. The schools don't have enough URMs who are ready for Algebra by 7th. If they largely eliminate 6th grade Algebra and significantly decrease 7th grade Algebra, then the URMs are for the most part in the same high track as the white and Asian kids. The optics are much better. [/quote] It doesn't help when Loudoun takes a black 8th grader enrolling from out of state a little late who took geometry in 7th grade and places him in prealgebra.[/quote]
