The unintended consequence of this loony leftist mindset is that now the not so bright and ill-motivated kids will get to see just how dumb they are.

Like all collectivist efforts, the overriding goal of the DOE is to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator. For the love of all that is holy, get your kids out of government schools.

Sweet.
Bring everyone down instead of picking people up.
It's easier that way.

This idiocy has been around for over 50 years.

Well tokening in people to make it the right colors would defeat the purpose of an "Advanced" program.

Knowing some liberals who live in Boston whose kids were likely in the advanced program, they will be excited by this effort to increase equity and decrease disparities.

They can excitedly go frick themselves. Sucks to be Asian, I guess.

Democrats are fixing to lose the Asian vote.

The unintended consequence is gonna be behavior problems. If you put GT kids in the general population they are gonna get bored and they will find ways to amuse themselves.

That will drive more elitist liberals to Florida and Texas.
They will bring their shite politics with them and ruin the South.

Local news story

New students will be admitted in the fourth grade by standards to be determined at the school level, according to a BPS spokesman.
quote:
A district analysis of the program found that more than 70 percent of students enrolled in the program were white and Asian, even though nearly 80 percent of all Boston public school students are Hispanic and Black.

"This is just not acceptable," Rivera said at a recent school committee meeting. "I've never heard these statistics before, and I'm very very disturbed by them."

The program was open to all students in the Boston Public Schools who took a test known as Terra Nova in the third grade and received a high score.

My son went to a gifted program in the NYC public schools. The kids who tested in on merit all did well regardless of their skin tone.
The kids who were admitted to add color who could not qualify by merit had to suffer the indignity of being the dumbest kid in the class who couldn't keep up.

Very disturbed by the fact that the 80% minority's can't beat out the 20% for the advanced classes?
Sounds "cultural" to me...parents (parent?) should be ashamed.

It's a parent choice to a large degree.
Some parents buy kids shite.
Some parents look for every option to advance their kids knowledge. My wife picks up educational material when we are out. Not crap. They wanted cookies and ice cream..she bought a $5 DVD of the magic school bus. We eat enough junk throughout the week anyway.
At night the kids and I love to watch This Old House or Ask This Old house. All the kids love watching/learning things that promote learning.
Last night shopping they all asked for models or something to build. Just engaging and talking and teaching your kids helps. It's cumulative.
