Today, I was reminded of how deeply divided this nation is. I read School Diversity Based on Income Segregates Some. I discovered in an attempt to offer equal opportunities, indeed, schools discovered discrimination remained a dominant force. School Boards, Administrators, and the community-at-large concluded educational institutions would be more diverse if learners were assigned to schools based on family incomes. A plan was introduced and implemented. The outcome was mixed; however, the pupil populations were less so. Some races, colors, and creeds were abundant within a given institution; others were not well represented.
The Detroit Free Press published an article that initially intrigued. The title Boys can make the grade, if they're not bored, seemed sensible. I thought to myself as I read the banner headline, this is true for all of us no matter what the gender. Why might this be significant. As I perused further, I could feel myself reacting, refuting the reality some educators think remarkable. Boys will be bored if not actively engaged is a valid supposition; however, I do not think that is news; nor do I think we cannot say the same of girls.
