Hello Robert, I talked about this issue before in this forum, and the type of educational change I was talking about. The "experiments" as you call it have been tried in various schools around the country with successful results. Multiple Intelligence.
I believe some folks do not want to use it because it would help raise the educational bar of children of color, thereby thwarting the educational systems covert process toward screening them into technical programs and "would you like fries with that" type jobs instead of higher education. And yes, I do believe what I just wrote.
