Bah. You really don't want to read my diatribe about this, so I'll restrain myself.

you can't be serious

I love your diatribes!

[quillpen]

if i wasn't striken by such awful senioritis, i myself would be writing a diatribe about how stupid they are to pick on Garfield. If you look at all those wasl results the site links you to, there isn't really a significantly lower african american perfomance rate at garfield than at the other schools (we're still above district averages), it just seems worse because the school is such a magnet for all the kids who are smarter than the test too.

[ath8na]

exactly.

[kleindreamer]

Agreed. But I still don't how this is anywhere near worthy of one of meredith's diatribes.

[kleindreamer]

What!!! I want to hear your diatribe! although, the word diatribe.... ;-) (must be yale, girl).

not to mention, I don't know.... it's not how I would have written it, not quite the right interpertation, but I think it's relatively valid, if simplified and coerced into fitting a picture they're trying to sell... but hell, people actually pay attention?!?! Gotta start somewhere, I mean...

uhm... they are keeping this information a secret from /only/ the black students?!

Have you any idea how fucking hard it is to learn about school programs ANYWAY?!! School districts don't like to publicize them for some reason... it's not like anyone is intentionally jipping just /some/ select few...

::sigh:: anywho...
