Higher learning: More middle-schoolers leapfrog into advanced classes—but are minorities being left behind?
Everyone must be equal.
For parents and students, it’s a great chance to get ahead. And school districts have something else to brag about: seventh- and eighth-graders completing courses such as Algebra II Honors and biology that had been reserved primarily for ninth- and 10th-graders.
But the nation’s foremost scholars in middle-school education are worried the fast-growing trend is leaving minority children behind. They also question whether the practice is legal because, nationwide, it has tended to result in students being segregated by race…......
Though officials at the federal Office of Civil Rights wouldn’t speculate about whether local schools have broken any rules, some of the country’s leading scholars say it could be just a matter of time before such disparities trigger an investigation.
While other Countries have a much higher rate of students attending college and engineering schools. What we worry about here in the U.S. is if some people are being left behind.
Not everyone should go to college. We need plumbers, electricians, chiefs and the like. That is what trade schools are for. Most of the students attending trade schools are happy there because they are doing what they love. But, yet again, we do not worry if the children are happy. Only that they are all the same. And I thought Rod Sterling was a little off the deep end when he wrote the story about an intelligent child having to wear a special device to give him headaches when he started to think to much.
