I have a dyslexic kid and I would never classify dyslexia services as "equity"

They are two very different things.

My dyslexic kid will never have the same outcomes as her sibling without dyslexia when it comes to written langiage and reading ability. But special ed services and accomodation help her to reach her potential, even if that potential is very different from her best friend without dyslexia.

Special ed services provide equality of opportunity. Equity is about attempting to manufacture the same outcomes.

Cool. But it is. Equity means giving extra support to those students who may need it.

Shocker. The people who are so against "equity" don't even know what it means. Big on outrage, low on facts.

The picture shows equal outcomes. The boxes being bigger underneath each person of different sizes. What the person above is saying is that this is not possible. A good education is more about providing the right supports for each person to achieve their potential which is not expected to be equal in the end. Justice is relating to the law. That is important to fulfill but in the context written it seems to imply that the law is unfair.

so you don't think dyslexic students should get any additional resources?

No, I'm saying that dyslexic students might need additional help with words. Someone who is physically disabled might need extra help with feeding. Someone who has anxiety might need help getting over anxiety. They aren't equal and the end result isn't equal. The physically disabled person may never eat as well as the dyslexic person. The dyslexic person may never read as well as the anxious person. The anxious person might have continued trouble socially that the dyslexic and physically disabled person doesn't have. It's meeting the needs of the individual for growth, not equality.

But it actually is. There are even physics equations for this.

It depends on what you treat as a “right.” Respecting one person does not detract from the respect paid to another. On the other hand, allocating resources primarily to benefit children who are not in the country legally and whose parents pay minimal taxes takes resources away from other legal residents and taxpayers.

I know republicans would like people to believe that FCPS is filled with undocumented kids but it is not true. A lot of people pay minimal income taxes but everyone is paying sales and gas tax.

They may be documented in some sense but their parents aren’t citizens or necessarily legal residents, and they get extensive services for the sales taxes they pay. Meanwhile others largely foot the bill and get sub-par services from the county.

That is far, far more "equitable" than what we have today. I'll take it.

FCPS spends far more per student on ESOL, FARMS, and Special Education students than on other students not in those categories. It’s fair to ask whether the “right supports” for those kids - if significantly greater than what they are currently getting from FCPS - translates into “no support” for other kids. But the kids who aren’t ESOL, FARMS, or Special Education don’t have special groups lobbying for them or School Board members like Sizemore Heizer prioritizing their needs. It’s just assumed they’ll make do and, if they fall through the cracks, we can always just blame their parents.

Seems like the "equity" fans don't have anything to complain about at all. So why are they constantly braying about it?

AAP on its way out now too. It’ll take a while for dem voters to feel the impact. But by then, they will have probably convinced themselves it was for the best.

The democrats running FCPS hate the AAP program. They are working to dismantle it.

Just look at the new “HOPE” rating scale the democrats put in place instead of the old, academic-focused scale:

Democrats are deconstructing AAP in other ways too, including E3 math.

I'm sorry but just to clarify, you are you under the impression that there are physics equations that apply to an understanding of human rights?
