Should we eliminate tracking in schools?

I believe that tracking in schools should be eliminated. While the system is meant to have children taking classes based on their proficiency levels, tracking has unfortunately contributed to the issue of educational equity. Instead of helping students learn at a level that is best suited for them, tracking has had both emotional and academic impacts on many students, especially those of color and/or of lower socioeconomic status. White and Asian students tend to dominate the higher tracks while minorities tend to be kept on the lower tracks, missing out on opportunities and better learning environments. Lower track students end up feeling inadequate to their peers and their education suffers. Tracking puts students on a track based on simply just a test or a vague evaluation instead of holistically viewing the individual student and their lives outside of school. When a child lacks the resources to obtain extra tutoring or even a parent to read to them at a young age, that child is already at a disadvantage in the world of tracking and can never reach the same level of another child who may be more privileged and thus on a higher track. It does not create a leveled playing field for all students to succeed. The cons outweigh the pros and tracking is holding the education system back.
