sorting kids by ‘intelligence’ and ‘giftedness’ is literally useless, even harmful by promoting a sense of superiority/inferiority, and strongly works to reinforce the class system thru the lie of meritocracy, and all kids deserve the same quality of education and to be treated with an equal capacity for learning thats my hot take for today

It’s also worth noting, of course, how heavily racialized it is. A bored kid who finishes their work quickly and might be overactive in class out of that boredom is very often evaluated for gifted programs… if they’re white. Otherwise, they’re just seen as a disruption and a problem child, which plays into the school to prison pipeline.

And then of course these classes being filled almost exclusively with white students, even in nonwhite majority schools, is just accepted unquestioningly. On one level or another the teachers do believe that black students and other students of color just simply aren’t as good, that it’s simply a matter of black children naturally underperforming in comparison to their white peers.

So you’re taking these white students, raising them up as inherently better than the other (less white) students, giving them better funding, smaller class sizes, more well-paid teachers… and then treating that widening performance gap as something that would have naturally happened either way lol. Of course the gap between them and “normal” students is just going to widen with time! Because they have the resources at hand that other students don’t.

We know the education system is a joke, but it’s amazing how many different ways it’s broken.

the true high school experience ™ is learning that “lol i didn’t study” means anything from “i literally did not pick up a pen” to “i studied So Much but i dont wanna sound like a dick about it”

My math binders are always red every year I feel like math is just a red subject

Math is a blue subject and I’m prepared to fight you over this

G U Y S reblog this with whether you were a math person and whether math is red or blue to you!

i also hate physics because it’s always like “Assuming we live in a world with no wind resistance where everything is made of ice, determine the speed of this ball” we dont. we dont live in that world. get off my ass
