It was their response to the assembly last week that singled out Black fourth and fifth-grade students regarding standardized test scores.
The morning meet-up was a result of the assembly at the school last week that targeted only Black fourth and fifth-grade students.Related:“They are beautiful, they are capable, they are, smart, they are created in the image of God, and there is nothing wrong with that. Test scores do not define who they are.”
A week ago, all Black fourth- and fifth-grade students at Bunnell Elementary, regardless of their test scores, were pulled out of class to attend an assembly focused on test scores. The presentation offered this solution — students commit to improving their scores and then pit them against each other in individual matchups. The winner of those contests would be given fast-food meals.
