I guess it’s “fair” not to teach science to the general population of the schools because some students just don’t get it and have no interest in it. Basically, it boils down to the fact that some parents are embarrassed that other kids are smarter than their kids.

The summer after 8th grade, I started taking summer school classes to accelerate the pace of my education. That summer, I took the required "science" class. It was fun and informative. The school was predominantly white and latino. That summer, we had one black male in the class. When the 2nd test of the session was returned, the sole black in the class claimed the test was "racist". It was simply too hard for him. My reaction was along the lines of "WTF"? It was a dirt simple test. If you can't do that one, you're way over your head in here.

If we could just incorporate rap into science education maybe things would get better.
