Talking Eqaulity

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

I think the article "Talking Eqaulity" acknowleges the fact that Caucasion and Asian students are surpassing students that are African-American and Latino academically. The article states that the percentages of Asian and White students are more than doubled when in the issue of advanced placement classes and High school population. These diffences in the School Board is called the "Achievment Gap". The gap the School Board wants to close, but needs the help of black and latino students. Although, there are other problems such as schools not having a lot of of teachers of good quality, and not having textbooks to take home. But I basically think it is up to black and latino students to fill the gap in academics.
