Rawak Soalan

Have anda noticed a lack of representation of minority groups in higher-level classes in school?

And if so, how would anda propose solving that problem? (Is it a problem?)

I'm just asking because it's something we've been discussing in school and I'm curious! Haha. In my school, there's about 4000 kids and a good amount are black, yet I have all honors/AP classes and there's only 1 black kid in all of mine. Hispanics don't seem much better represented. I think a relatively high percent of Asians are in higher levels though (due to expectations?). I just want other opinions/observations, thank! :3

anda are talking to an AP hispanic student from a mainly hispanic culture state and lemme tell anda that just because an individual in a minority is a regular class rather than AP does not mean that there's something fucking wrong with the world

each person learns at a different level of learning regardless of what group they're from. what, you're going to assume that there aren't a lot of blacks atau hispanics in honors classes BECAUSE of their stereotypical backgrounds and what society papar the standard for them as?

education is also far different around the world. we are not high in education, and compared to students in other countries, we're not even close.

ALL kids are held to high expectations, it is not just Asians. my mom holds me to a high standard, and i even took college classes after my sophomore tahun because she wanted me to. all. motherfucking kids. are held. to high expectations.

I didn't mean for this to be offensive. O_o I know all kids learn at different levels but I also know that there are smart kids in every single minority group. My soalan was, why aren't the smart blacks and Hispanics in honors classes? And yes, part of the soalan was how society/stereotypes play into that. But I'm not stereotyping. ._.

watch your wording if anda wish for what anda want to say not to be offensive. some students who happen to be black atau hispanic may feel that should they advance to a higher level, it would be considered challenging. others may consider the current level they're at "good enough" atau maybe due to Friends may prefer to stay alongside them.

What part exactly anda take as offensive? Jw. Otherwise your komen is basically along the lines I've been thinking lol. I think a lot just tend to be comfortable where they are because it would be tough to assimilate into the honors/AP environment.

Nope. I'm in all advanced/honors etc classes and there are quite a lot of people who are Hispanic (Most of my school is Hispanic, we don't really have any other races except Caucasian.)h
Most of the Hispanic students are not in the advanced classes though, but anda know a lot of Hispanic families don't encourage school and stuff as much as other groups of people. I think my school is already fixing that, sejak encouraging Membaca and making expectations higher and encouraging college.

actually i have kind of realized Asians r good at almost everything! lol, i mean just look at the Olympics in China, that was some of the most amazing things i've ever seen in my life! i don't want to be racist and im black but, i think (not the colour of their skin) but the backgrounds they come from can sadly affect their education :(
and there are still a lot lebih poor black and Hispanic people, it's sad and a lot of people don't like to admit it but it's true. I don't know what anda mean sejak "lack of representation though" but, i think money is a big factor in all of this and...peers, just following everybody else in your neighborhood, learning from experience.

No. I have noticed the opposite.
I have also noted things sometimes telah diberi because of race that were NOT earned:/ Life not fair before (times past) life not fair now (?) :/ - I am tired of the stupidity however I am very happy to see any individual succeed and people.

I am a firm believer that is the "marks" that earn anda the seats and opportunties - not your 'race' and I believe that is the way it SHOULD be for ANYone regardless of SEX -or- ethnicity. I don't see "colour" - anyway, I see "people" and I have even boycotted filling out that section of paperwork on documents. I am sooo tired of being asked what race I am. There are groups that do not fit and are not even listed, it makes no sense to me. I do not feel like people should be polled and statistics based on race when soon it will not matter anymore at all! [end soapbox, lol, sorry]
