[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I really hope that parents of accepted kids don't bring this attitude with them to the magnet programs. I am picturing them side-eyeing any black and hispanic 11-year-olds who they assume are unqualified.

It is absolutely the case that prior to this new admission procedure, tons of kids with uninformed parents or parents who don't speak English didn't know they were supposed to apply. Testing more kids means correcting for that problem. It doesn't mean admitting unqualified students. It means that the kids who used to be admitted were not the only qualified students out there.

And THAT is exactly why MCPS needs to be more transparent.

Show the parents from CS that ALL of the kids who have been admitted are all qualified to be there.  Then, it’s a non-issue.[/quote]

Or parents could model "not being a racist jackass" for their kids. [/quote]
DP.  Are statistics racist?  Because stats show URM groups score much lower across the board.  No one is saying that there aren't smart URM students, but statistically, there aren't many in MCPS who score high.[/quote]
