I spent the day at SMU's Law School library. I must people, the school of education better get a nice library. I was wondering why the heck I spent all my time studying in Fondren with this masterpiece. No undergraduates and silence! HEAVEN! Well, I found some pretty cool things for my Gifted and Talented (G/T/)class I wanted to share.
Ok, so there are these magnet schools in NYC....if you are interested at all in G/T, you have to read "A Class Apart" by Alec Klein.....well, these 9 magnet high schools in NYC are super competitive to get in to. I mean, kids start preparing in elementary school. These kids go to the Ivys...live and breathe school, like Texans and football.
So, check out this statistic: in 2010, the kids that were admitted to these schools were:
7% black
8% Hispanic
28% white
57% Asian
It just blew my mind....it made me sad to see such a lack of diversity.
Let's go America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
