TJ Discrimination Case

[Anonymous]

All I can say is our kids were at a local level 4 in a high SES area then transferred to the AAP center in a high SES area and there is definitely a difference in the education.

So I'm sure that it is even more different between a low SES and high SES school even if the curriculum is the "same."

Yes, the recent immigrants from developing countries in the predominantly low SES schools provide diverse viewpoints in debates during history and social studies in particular, elevating the quality of education.

In class discussions on 9/11 and the aftermath go to a substantialy higher level when child refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan are in the room, as an example.

Give me a break. You’d need a trained mediator to broker an honest discussion about such topics in a classroom. If there’s one thing those kids have learned it’s to be cautious when discussing politics with people they don’t know well.

Have you been in a classroom? Kids will bring up such topics by themselves, tangentially to what ever the official lesson plan is and a good teacher will go with it and encourage discussion.

Both my parents are immigrants and I used to jump on ignorant comments by classmates growing up. It’s a matter of cultural honour.

Very soon, these immigrants will be on the negative list and be discriminated against as soon as start getting better than the natives. They are only cute as long as they stay in their lane.

As in discrimination against Asians.

The actual number of allocated spaces at most of these poorer schools is something like 5-6, and the kids who attend those schools without trying to game the system are likely to have additional experience factor points for income that will put gamers at a disadvantage.

I’m just imagining twenty families having the same idea to move from Carson to Poe during 7th grade, spending huge amounts of money on a rental property to validate their move, and then not getting in anyway.

For a group that makes up around 15% of the population and manages to gain 70% of the coveted TJ seats they are doing better than anyone so if you think this is discriminated, I was hoping they could discriminate against me too.

DP. That poster isn't missing the point - they are making a separate and very salient point.

You'll always be talking past each other. You think it's fine to define students based on the "group" to which you've decided they belong, and PP thinks students should be evaluated as individuals against other students.

I know! It's almost as bad as the people attempting to define merit as a purchasble commodity.

That exactly why the judge tossed this case. They weren't able to show actual harm.

Ummm . . . The Judge ruled in their favor. He found discriminatory intent and effect.
