[quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand why people think comparing performance of white kids answers the question parents are raising. People want their child to recieve actually on-grade or advanced instruction, and producing a tiny percentage of kids on grade level is an obstacle to that. How can we know that the actual coursework is appropriate? If there aren't enough kids doing well to support an actually advanced class, people aren't going to enroll. And if the advanced class would be disproportionately white, DCPS isn't going to be willing to offer it. So people don't enroll. It really doesn't matter if 86% of the white kids are doing well, if you don't have the course offerings that people want.[/quote]
