I'm not sure where this goes, but since this board is for General Discussion I'll put it here.

http://www.aimschools.org/aim_faq.shtml

The school's program is alternately condescending and merely classist and racist. Poor minority students don't deserve sports (except golf, because that leads to business connections) or arts classes or anything but draconian rules and teaching to standardized tests. It's an appalling bit of work, and it epitomizes the beliefs of the rich white man who thinks he has earned his place in society and thinks that poor minorities need simply to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps (and who also apparently has trouble with spelling and grammar, judging from that page). It's not surprising that the kid I know who goes there (or, it should be said, went there until he transferred out) remarked on the complete lack of anything approximating independent thought.

What's hilarious is that these guys still get better test scores across all races than the unionized schools do.

I would think that teaching designed solely to improve scores on those tests would do that, yes.

wtf, I hate whoever wrote this.

When you think about it, that dichotomy doesn't even make any sense.
