Do you know bcc community. Full of lawyers, media, higher ed, education, social sciences, writers, and therapists. Stem would not survive they can't even get enough students for certain Chem or Physics courses. WJ is where the medical, scientist, bio medical professionals are. |
Aside from missing what I'm guessing was supposed to be an implied /s in that post, why should we be funneling students into academic paths based on their parents' occupations? That's the same broken "community pull" philosophy which has resulted in the huge disparities/inequities across the system that largely correspond to local-catchment wealth. |
I'm not the previous poster, but I do know the BCC community because I'm part of it. Plenty of kids who are interested in the sciences at the advances level and plenty of parents who are engineers, medical professionals, researchers, scientists at NIH, FDA, NIST, etc (not that that necessarily leads to having kids in those areas). |
This makes no sense at all. |
Apparently the PP thinks that kids can only excel in subjects when their parents are professionals in their area. Equity at its finest.

Many DCUM posters are outspoken opponents of economic mobility. Their own rich kids NEED good schools. Other people's kids do not, they don't care about education so it's their own fault s/ |

Was a new set of proposals released?
If so, can you share the links? When will we know the final results? |
Nope |
