[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diversity or otherwise, it seems to me that 10 years ago when my older kids were going through FCPS, only a handful of kids went off to the GT program. Now, I hear our base school has 2 full classrooms (40% of the grade) in AAP. It doesn't seem possible that kids are that much smarter these days. But there is no way to make that 40% more diverse, because there's next to zero diversity among all the students (well, since Asian is no longer considered a minority race because they make up a majority of the TJ enrollment). [/quote] If it was so easy to get in to the program if the non diverse student's parents cared enough they could get them in. Part of the GT isn't how white or asian are you. The test has NOTHING to do with race.[/quote]
