I love how the group wants to eliminate Track 3 because "not a lot of learning goes on". What do they think will happen to Track 2 when Track 3 is eliminated?

It's like when low achieving schools push their low level kids into AP classes to make the school numbers/rankings look better. ("Look! 55% of our seniors take at least one AP class!"). Meanwhile, what is really happening? Those kids are dragging the curriculum down and slowing the pace for the students that should really be in there. Then they fail the AP test miserably, but the school ranking looks better (bc some rankings are based on what % of students TAKE the test) and it all works out for the administrators because they can just blame the teacher for low scores.

What does this have to do with lifting a group?

People are complaining that black kids are in detention too much. I suspect that is a result of behavior, not racism. Why should kids who don't meet the standards for the gifted program be put into it?

The families complaining about their kids in the 3rd track and special ed. should be happy the school is attending to their needs. let's be real, some kids belong in low tracks. When I was in high school they had 1st through 4th tracks. It would be idiotic to have kids with 4th track aptitude in classes with first track kids. Some people just like to complain and blame other people for all of there disappointments. If they got rid of the 3rd track, I suspect that these same parents would be complaining when their kids had to struggle at bottom of the 2nd track classes. They aren't in 3rd track because of their race. They are in 3rd track because of their academic performance.
