They should certainly correct, but it’s weird to stop entirely. It seems like a failure on the part of administration to create a more equitable program.
I grew up in a diverse city where all the advanced schools and classes were filled with white kids, and it was incredibly obvious that it was due to socioeconomic factors.
Kids in my classes were going to expensive tutors and had parents in high paying jobs that could be around to help them.
My neighbor on the other hand was an immigrant taking care of younger siblings after school and eventually working to help his mom when he was old enough. No time or money for tutoring, or even homework for that matter. I was in the same boat for a long time but was fortunate enough to not need to study as much as my peers, some who had enormous amounts of help. As an adult I still can’t afford the amount of tutoring they were getting, some even paid someone to write college admission essays.
It’s 20 years later and it’s all the same, if not worse, and I still get mad about it.
