Honors programs and the like have been under assault for the past 20 years or more as the egalitarian juggernaut rolls on in the public education system.
In Cupertino, where the Asian population has flocked in search of excellent public schools, there is a new form of "white flight," i.e., Caucasian families moving out of the area so that their kids will escape going to schools that have high standards.
I am not making this up. I got it from an article in the Merc about 2 or 3 years ago.
- Tamerlin 17y ago"Caucasian families moving out of the area so that their kids will escape going to schools that have high standards" Now that epitomizes pathetic. Or maybe the American way 2.0: "If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards." It's hard to say what's worse, litigation making it into actual courts to force science teachers to add 'intelligent' design to science classes, or people fleeing from schools because their standards are too tough for their brats.
