[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I understand that what came before was problematic but I don’t understand how this isn’t at least equally problematic from an equity perspective. I feel like the SPS questions, if they are like the ones listed here are going to be really easy to coachable, and the kid who doesn’t have an adult (parent or paid) who can sit with them and organize their thinking a little bit is going to be at a huge disadvantage. Plus it seems like having paid activities to write about would be a huge advantage. [/quote] You make some good points but perhaps that's offset by other special experiences like FARMS or ESOL. [/quote] I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that the old system was biased, so they made an even more biased new system, and then added the experience points to make up for some of the advantage that kids from more highly resourced families have?
