[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.harlan.k12.ky.us/pdf/Gifted&TalentedForms/HopeScaleDirections.pdf No joke, HOPE is racist! Teachers are being forced to assess students based on their race: "For example, when rating your students, try to compare those from low-income families to other children from low-income families, children from African-American families to other children from African-American families, (Asian Americans children to other Asian American children, White children to other White children), etc."[/quote] This link is from Kentucky? These are not the instructions FCPS teachers were given.[/quote] You can see an excerpt from HOPE scoring manual from post of this thread at 03/27/2024 14:40. In the HOPE manual it instructs "when rating your students, try to compare from low-income families to other children from low-income famillies, children from specific culture groups to other children from the same cultural group, girls to girls etc." The KY manual is merely an interpretation of the scoring manual. I don't see KY manual above made any unreasonable interpretation of cultural group. [/quote] That still isn't the instructions teachers were given. Teachers were just told to rate the children. They were discouraged from comparing students to other students and just focus on rating areas of strength compared to the average. Not the average of similar demographics, just "more than normal." [/quote] Teachers were specifically told to go by race/ethnicity, the only parameter that's officially on students record for vast majority of students. the low income categorization applies to only small percent of students. there is no field named culture on student's record. [/quote] I am saying this as a teacher who was trained: we were never told to judge by race/ethnicity. We were not told to only compare students to students with similar backgrounds. We were told "compare them to the average student." That was it. [/quote] Teacher? It's strange that you skipped to the third page to post but didn't address OP's basic question.[/quote]
