[quote=Anonymous]It's a foolish idea. In ten years, we'll be having the same discussion again because it would have proved to be unsuccessful at letting more URM into the school because as a previous poster wisely noted, you're not actually addressing the problem, you're applying a band aid. If you don't build the URM student through elementary school and middle school, you're setting them up for failure when they get to TJ. With the affluent white and Asians, those parents are doing the building at home (because let's be real, FCPS doesn't do it for them either) by sending them to enrichment and prep classes. So, until you actually INVEST in the URM child, this revised system will not get you the equity results you're hoping for ... but also, no one at FCPS or the VDOE really/truly cares about that. They just want to check a box saying "we fixed it". And, most people are not willing to really think about whether the solution will solve the problem. [/quote]
