  Case: Diversity in Honors/AP Classes
It is the end of the year and you are working on course recommendations for the next school year. Your department head has told you that administration wants more diversity in honors and AP classes and that she will be checking recommendations to make sure that you are not only recommending white students. You begin to feel fearful that you will be labeled racist if you do not include more students of other races. However, you don't feel comfortable placing students in classes where they won't be successful for the sake of diversity. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Do your best to find minority students that will be successful in the honors courses. I understand the principles wanting for diversity, but pushing a child to a level they wont be successful at is cruel. Try your best to find these students, they are out there! If you can only find a few, document and present to your administrator your reasoning for not placing certain students in the honors classroom.
