how about analyzing the population shift in general over that period. ... AP has had the OPPORTUNITY with over 1 billion in state aid to build a superior program but failed for one reason or the other. Skip the race issue. No reason a single race school can't excel. You don't need white kids to make the rest smarter. Good points. ll kids have the SAME opportunity for a HIGHER level of education/programs offered i the speciality schools which, as you pointed out, IS NOT open to all residents. You have to apply and hope your kid didn't f-up along the way. A slippery slope with that one - Doesn't M.A.S.T. also have a application procedure? Entry tests? Otherwise how do you choose? Make all the schools strict and fund more programs and enforce strict policies as to learning and discipline instead of letting kids skate along? Parent responsibility is somewhere in there I hope.... The issue has nothing to do with race. I It shouldn't. Unfortunately, it does. But I think our country, as a whole, has come a long way. Still a way to go. Happy Thanksgiving **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
