Sounds good, but once you’re in the dumb caste you tend to stay.

It's possible the reason for that is that the original assessment was well-calibrated. But if you want to see more opportunities for misidentified students to prove their worth then why not argue for that instead of making every class the dumb class?

I wouldn’t call community college “dumb caste”. The people there are often ready to move upwards (whatever this means for them)

It’s about the high school, not the college.

Kids in this track don’t get access to services, AP classes, etc.
