[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this called an "Equity" report. Gifted Education is based on the assumption that everyone is not of equal intelligence, equal ability. [/quote]

Because it is assumed that kids of all races are gifted but some are undiscovered.[/quote]

Then why do they have to lower standards for some particular races in order to call them gifted or advanced?[/quote]

The report stated that [b]all races had similar means and ranges[/b] for test scores. There was no recommendation to change that.[/quote]
I don't see your repeated claim about this is true. Using NNAT scores as the example:

Mean scores for all students: Asian=113.6, White=107.5, Black=97.6
Mean scores for Level 4 eligibles: Asian=129, White=118, Black=111
Max scores for Level 4 eligibles: Asian=160, White=160, Black=142

I don't think these can be called "similar".

You forgot to put in the MINIMUM scores for all Level 4 eligible students:
WHITE = 70 (this is the 2nd percentile rank!!!!) , Asian = 93, Black = 85

You forgot to put in the MINIMUM scores for all Level 4 eligible students:
[b]WHITE = 70 (this is the 2nd percentile rank!!!!) , Asian = 93, Black = 85[/quote][/b]

Many of these likely had WISC or other test that was high.  You all have way too much trust that this number from a single administration of a group test tells you much.[/quote]
