You sound like a blast.

Our 16 year old son has never made a B, runs CC at the high school, has a job, is dual enrolled at the local college AND has a pretty and smart girlfriend. Life is about balance. Make sure your kids have some social skills, too. As an employer, lack of social skill is the number one challenge finding customer-facing employees.

This outrageous display of hard work and academic excellence is beyond the pale, people! Do you realize how inferior this makes some people feel? Shut it down, now!

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.


I currently live in one of these type of places in suburban Philadelphia and I can promise you this is not true. They want it done to everyone else’s school but not their kids. If and when it doesn’t happen to their kids’ school, they will immediately pull them out to a private school and start the woken process all over again.

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.


exactly how it worked in Louisiana public schools in the 90s

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."


How could this person be disturbed by this? If you are involved in public schools, then you have to know which sets of kids excel academically.

Now, instead of punishing the white and Asian kids, perhaps the school system should work to get the others to catch up. Good luck with that.

White people are probably just thrown in to deflect from the fact that leftists despise asians. Ya can white guilt and white shame white kids in order to mould them. Ya can mould black kids by lying and telling them that everyone is trying to target them. Ya can mould hispanic kids by lying and convincing them that all of America hates them...

But none of that shite works on Asian kids. It's probably rare, if it does.
