A Seattle gifted program for public school students is one step closer to closing because of phony equity concerns.
Garfield High School is currently a highly capable cohort school which is part of the Seattle gifted program.
Outraged more by the success of white and Asian students than by the untapped potential of Black and Hispanic pupils, progressives would rather drag achievers down than elevate everyone. These self-proclaimed saviors boast on social media about tackling inequities, oblivious to the harm they inflict.
Under the model, classrooms will include students of all different learning abilities. A teacher is supposed to address each group of students, in classrooms with 20-30 students, with no additional resources and limited new training. How does a teacher create individualized programs for so many students with disparate needs? It’s not likely that a teacher can help a student who can barely read while simultaneously challenging a classmate who is reading two advanced books a week.
They find it too hard to do the necessary work to identify any legitimate impediments to a lack of diversity. And they don’t want to find out or admit that, perhaps, the system works relatively well and it just so happens that the current population of studentsis failing “students of color” by giving them substandard education as compared to white students .
