The Alabama Board of Education Had Best Clean Up Its Act
#26
RE: The Alabama Board of Education Had Best Clean Up Its Act
This is a very complex issue that requires a long essay to give it justice. But start by considering the question of fairness. Is it fair to the more intelligent students with IQs of 110-140 to be held back by students with IQs of 70-90?

Who benefits from having low performing students mixed in with high performing students? Is it just a ploy to push the idea of school vouchers to enrich the operators of charter schools?

Based upon objective real world evidence what's the best outcome a student with learning disabilities can expect to achieve in modern America? Is it better for all of the students if such students be mainlined or should those students be placed in an environment specifically tailored to their abilities?

As a superpower on the world stage should we concentrate on producing the highest possible top achievers to compete with the rest of the world or should we be satisfied with a pool of low achievers?

And then there's the whole issue of foreign students. Some are smart, some are not. There are some school districts where the student body speak 130 different primary languages.

And of course there's the traditional problems of racial and class discrimination.

Mix all of those things up in a school and you have a heck of a mess.
