Blended classes can sometimes stunt the growth of both types of children and sometimes it is a benefit for each set to be taught at their level. However this article makes it appear as though the "slower" class is FILLED to the brim with black children. WHY? The only "black" child allowed into the higher level class for that grade is the "mixed" child? WHY? Is having a white parent this schools' only requirement for gifted or excelled classes? Are the other kids labeled "bad" and "stupid" for having a different skin color? What is the REAL deal? Isn't anyone at the school wondering why that is that way and testing the children to ensure there is not a racial bias?
At the best there are 2 other black kids in the grade or something and article should have clarified that point. At the worst, the school really does have racial issues.
