NYC school cuts popular gifted program over lack of diversity: report
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/30/nyc-school-cuts
A popular gifted-student program at a New York City elementary school is
getting the ax after school officials decided it lacked diversity.
PS 139 Principal Mary McDonald told parents in a letter Jan. 24 that
Students of Academic Rigor, or SOAR, would no longer accept applications for
incoming kindergartners, the New York Daily Newsreported.
“Our Kindergarten classes will be heterogeneously grouped to reflect the
diversity of our student body and the community we live in,” Miss McDonald
said in the letter posted on Flickr.com.
At least one parent described SOAR as largely white, while others disagreed,
the report said.
One mother conceded the program did have a lot of white students, but
worried gifted students now won’t be challenged enough.
“Where are they going to put the higher-level students? Sometimes, there
are different levels, and teachers can’t handle all the levels in one class
,” she told the Daily News.
In a follow-up letter sent to parents Monday, Miss McDonald wrote: “At PS
193, we believe that all children can learn and achieve high standards. We
also know that we want all children at PS 193 to have equal access to high
quality, challenging curriculum, and to have ample opportunities to master
complex material and build academic and personal self-confidence. We also
want our classes to reflect the diversity of our community. We believe we
can have both: classrooms characterized by rigor and diversity.”
