They are not "dumbing down" education here in FL. Standards are being raised. You are wrong again. Sorry. :)

It is a true accomplishment to reduce the failure rate while increasing the standards. We should all congratulate Florida.

Nevertheless, I still believe this focus on the gaps between the various ethnic groups is wrong. I believe it contributes to racial division. All students should be viewed equally. It would be better to push all the students to achieve thier best even if it somehow increases the gap between the races.
