[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was no incentive in the previous process to disclose FARMS status.  In fact, as has been pointed out, given the stigma associated with FARMS in some communities- it is very likely that FARMS was underreported in the past.

What I am saying that there is enough of “reasonable doubt” as to whether the new process resulted in more socio-economic diversity.  If you want to make that claim then you have to make sure all your t’s are crossed and i’s  dotted.  That is simply not the case at this time. [/quote]

They had FARMS data countywide pre-covid. 27% of the county isn't worried about the "stigma".  :roll:

Covid threw off that process because technically all kids were eligible for free lunch and didn't need to fill out the FARMS paperwork. But for the TJ application parents were required to answer "are you receiving free/reduced meals". Do you think that 25% of the parents LIED on the application form?

Are you so certain that they did not lie?

I am not the one making the claim.  You are.  All I need to do is to demonstrate reasonable doubt with respect to your claim. Which I have done.

I am also saying that the 3.5 GPA requirement eliminates the low-income students as they cannot keep up the consistent performance throughout the year that forms basis of the GPA.  Lower income kids often have to deal with parental unemployment, sibling care and other family issues that results in poor GPA.  Many are very smart when they are able to test in a time of stability.  In times of instability at home, poor grades are the norm.

Unless you have data that suggests that Fairfax county is an outlier, you are making an unsubstantiated claim.[/quote]

The first "claim" that is made in this argument is YOUR claim that the data are flawed. [/quote]
