I think then top kids from each middle school idea is a good one.

Im from a city that is majority black. I went to an elite public high school, top 10 in the country, which was the only non majority black high school in my city and which required an examination to get in.

Judging by my SAT score and performance in college I know I belonged there. Unlike Stuyvesant, race was considered for admission into my school. And for the years I went there (5th-12th grade) it was always obvious that teachers(especially in the middle school years) , administrators, and other students thought I was only there because I was black. And that sucked. I eventually just stopped going to school for a few reasons, and this component of the culture was one of them.

I remember before high school started there was a partnership with a local university for gifted math students. Unfortunately for me, the entire selection process depended on the teacher choosing you. So despite my eventual near perfect math score on the SAT I was not asked to participate. All asians and maybe one white kid were chosen. I eventually had to settle for a 5 on the AP calculus exam.

As long as there are different standards academically the people who will suffer most in the black community come from the set those of us who do not need the reduced standards, who will be perceived as having only met a lowered bar when we actualy raised the bar overall.

Just like in college admissions the people who will benefit are the black kids with money who could have worked a little harder but knew they could slack off because of the lowered bar.

I think education in America has already ruined the country and that we need innovative solutions that will result in a more educated population. Instead we have a rat race to 'get mine' that plagues many other aspects of our culture. I get sad just thinking about it.

why? maybe that would help "diversity" but we shouldn't confuse the goals and framing of issues by white liberals as the goals of black people

the goal of black people shouldnt be to diversify, our goal should be to dominate

so we need to brainstorm ideas on how blacks can dominate the process not on how to "diversify" the schools

If those students could handle the work it doesnt seem like a bad idea to me. Knowing your competition is sitting in class with you could motivate you more.

I agree with you. I think a lot of the issue is that the spririt of competition needs to come back. This would make school more exciting for kids. The everyone gets a trophy culture is boring as shyt.

To keep it 1000 though until black kids start reading more books and practicing math problems they will never be able to compete. This is not only true for us but for people who dont excel academically in general. The average kid cant read or count anymore and by the time those skills would be useful they are too far behind in these areas.

i dont think any diversity initiatives or good or bad, i just think they are irrelevant and black people should pretty much ignore them, diversity initiatives and affirmative action are not the key to increasing black performance in academics

unless there is evidence of discrimination, the onus is on black people to change, its black people's responsibility to make sure black kids are reading more books and doing more math, it doesnt matter what liberal bureaucrats are doing in their officees
