You need to read my post to Kevin Hampton. At no time did I say the kids at John Tyler were dumb and poor minorities. You made that statement not me.
It is a reality that this country, not just Tyler, is expecting less and less our own young people. We continue to make exceptions and excuses as to why more kids are failing. This hurts the kids that do care to learn and do care about their future. Our teachers face an uphill battle every day in our schools. If the IB program is not working, then pull it. I am sure that they have a plan in place for these gifted kids.
There are thousands of incredibly bright students in the TISD - however I have seen first hand where teachers are forced to work with students that do not want to be in school, don't care to learn and are disruptive in their classrooms. Not just at John Tyler but at REL also.
I am fully educated on the subject - I have been educated on the subject since my kids have been in the TISD.
I am not the bad guy here, Dan.
