Yet district officials have stood firmly behind a policy that keeps all students together in math through middle school, eliminating the tracking of students into classes based on their level of academic ability, which often separates white, Asian and wealthy students from their low-income, Latino and black peers.
To bypass the district’s policy, some public school parents have been paying for outside algebra courses to prepare their children to take a placement test that would allow them to enroll in geometry freshman year. But the courses are expensive, and not everyone can afford them.
So, to "fix" a racial issue the district created an economic issue. These people teach children and don't get logical outcomes of their actions.
