[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The data says that if a child is not reading on grade level by the 3rd grade they will have significant trouble catching up later - so for many of these children it is already too late.  For those who think it is ok to have an all black class of remedial students - I wouldn't expect you to understand.  You didn't have to explain the class to your black sons and daughters.[/quote]

OK, so I ask - again - what do you suggest?  Since it's already too late, just forget about the kids and continue to let them (whatever color they are) flounder and get farther and farther behind the pack?

And is seems like if the class was split - 50% black, and 50% white - you'd be OK with it.  Is that right?  If white kids have trouble too, that's OK - but if black kids have trouble, giving them the help they need - well, that's racist.  Thats completely incoherent.

Finally - it's a black thing?  Really, that's your argument?  White people don't understand?  Isn't that last refuge for people who don't have any well-grounded, persuasive points to make?  "You wouldn't understand because . . . because . . . because . . . I'm different than you!"

What is so difficult about this - kids are not put in this class because they are black.  They're put in it because they weren't making it in the immersion class.  [/quote]
