Most schools need to meet standards for all students in racial brackets. If these schools do not meet the standards, they fail to meet state certification, which hurts the school and funding. I'm not saying this is the right or wrong practice, however, I can understand why the decision was made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-83646741183420455082010-01-01T09:06:38.130-06:002010-01-01T09:06:38.130-06:00This is nothing new, and not confined to Californi...This is nothing new, and not confined to California. There were many "gifted and talented" programs in Ohio in the 70s that were eventually eliminated as being "elitist". Basically, people whose kids weren't in the advanced classes felt bad, and so the advanced classes were canceled.<br /><br />This is one main reason why I graduated from a private school.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428082495674007773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-48719370430536888192009-12-30T19:00:02.737-06:002009-12-30T19:00:02.737-06:00Is it just me or has "Atlas Shrugged" go...Is it just me or has "Atlas Shrugged" gone from being a novel to scary prediction of the near future.Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251128534108054655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-10032428502545732142009-12-29T18:43:39.857-06:002009-12-29T18:43:39.857-06:00I cannot even comment... because the words I would...I cannot even comment... because the words I would use all have four letters... idjits... @#&* idjits!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-89911795171579000892009-12-29T10:16:35.434-06:002009-12-29T10:16:35.434-06:00My thoughts:

Most minority students do not fair...It makes sense! Most minority students do not fair well in science classes so science must be a racist subject and needs to be eliminated. Following this line of thinking a disproportionate amount of minorities have suspended driver's licenses so maybe we should do away with those as well. While we are at it, a much larger percentage of minorities than whites are incarcerated so we better get rid of all the criminal statutes as well. And, whites in general earn more than blacks so we should probably do away with jobs and money too. <br /><br />What these idiots fail to understand is race has absolutely nothing to do with any of these things. All races have their fair share of miscreants. The problem is a cultural issue. Cultures which honor and respect work ethic and personal responsibility produce hard working responsible human beings. Cultures that nurture their children, make them study, supervise them and are involved in their lives produce children with scholastic ability, valid driver's licenses, low incarceration rates and marketable skills. This is true no matter what the color of the members of the culture.<br /><br /><br />On the other hand cultures that glorify gangs, violence, drug dealing and criminal activity don't nurture anything or anyone. When Father's Day causes confusion as to whom you should send a card, the most successful person that you personally know is a drug dealer, no one bothers to supervise you, cares who you hang out with, or whether you attend to your studies, you become a lazy, ignorant, underachiever, no matter what color you are.<br /><br /> If you want to fix the problem you have to fix the culture. That can't be done without fixing the families. No one wants to do that because that would mean there is absolute right and wrong. People would have to take personal responsibility for their actions. That is not currently fashionable. Especially not when all you have to do is play the race card and our society throws free stuff at you.makeumdothechickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120822623352911018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-38787329523327482802009-12-29T04:09:48.502-06:002009-12-29T04:09:48.502-06:00There are two ways to even out achievement - Help ...There are two ways to even out achievement - Help those at the bottom or Hinder those at the top.<br /><br />Guess which is easier?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146942566466847781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-4636122753099806342009-12-29T03:58:42.709-06:002009-12-29T03:58:42.709-06:00With a long enough lever and a firm enough fulcrum...With a long enough lever and a firm enough fulcrum... we could push California into the ocean.<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-57147081649869180492009-12-28T23:46:48.384-06:002009-12-28T23:46:48.384-06:00They are, of course, at liberty to sink on their o...They are, of course, at liberty to sink on their own merits.
