Sadly, gifted programs in most districts are stacked with kids who aren’t gifted, just usually high achievers who got in because there weren’t enough gifted kids to put in or because of pushy parents who wanted their children to be in the programs.

“They kick Asians out and brought in Latinos in on some class placement turn out they got lower score than Asians

So they brought back the following year”

Seven, I have learned a few things over the years....

1) study habits trump natural intelligence 2 to 1

2)It appears that certain Asians have an aptitude for mathematics.....they also have a strong work ethic.

Like I stated previously, AP ain’t what it used to be.

In 1976, I moved to 5747 Laurel Canyon Bl. North Hollywood. (luxury apartment)

I understand this is now a ghetto. Sad to hear.

Great hearing from you!

Be well!
