There were 122 black 4th graders who scored 5 on last year's PARCC. DD was one of them. She is not in compacted math. None of the white students in her grade at her school who are in compacted math scored 5 on the PARCC math. Does that say something about the selection process? Does it say something about the quality of instruction in compacted math?
No one is saying to allow underachieving black and latino kids into accelerated programs. But there are high achieving black and latino students who are not being included.[/quote]

So she was excluded since she is black?  My neighbors daughter is white and she was originally excluded.   The process is not perfect but way better than 
a) not having a process 
or
b) admitting based on race quotas[/quote]

Those are both straw men. Nobody is advocating admission without an admission process. And nobody is advocating admission based on race quotas.[/quote]

Except that is exactly what the choice study recommended. [/quote]

Which choice study? The choice study I read did not recommend those things. Not to mention that Option A would be infeasible (how do you admit somebody to a program without having an admissions process?), and Option B would be illegal.[/quote]

Don't be absurd. This is whole thread is about the Metis Choice Study. Recommendation 3a. Group specific standard and norms. You draw your own conclusion. [/quote]

People keep saying that. I have drawn my own conclusion. And the conclusion I've drawn is that Metis would not recommend, nor would MCPS adopt, something that is clearly illegal.[/quote]

You keep saying that. Enlighten us what group specific standards mean. [/quote]
