04/04/2005: ""levelling"?"


Article in yesterday's Times discussing the segregated classrooms on an integrated school. No mystery here- take a tour of the basements of Philadelphia's mainline high schools and you'll see the same split.

Only mystery from this article is why the author chose the term "leveling" over the more common term "tracking." His description of it being a recent phenomena makes no sense nor does his his failure to describe tracking. He also fails to reference a huge literature on the way special education has been used for the same purposes.

Weird.
