I do not believe that tracking should be eliminated. I do not think so because in hindsight the idea of tracking is to pull aside the students who are not doing so well in school and provide them with the resources that they need in order to succeed. However I do understand the situation in many schools with tracking is that rather than looking at a students credentials, report cards, test scores, etc, the school's administration looks rather at the students color to decided whether or not they will be on on track for most of their school life at a very young age. Tracking has become something that is now a racial issue rather than something that was supposed to assists students that were falling behind. So I believe that rather than eliminating tracking we should focus more on schools addressing this racial problem. Not to mention that the Go Project is also something like tracking because we pull students aside from their school and work with them. So this is why I believe that tracking should not be eliminated, since it is not the tracking itself that is the issue in my eyes, rather the issues that arise due to another aspect of the child.
