[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For one thing, I don't think FCPS has very good AARTs at the elementary schools. It also relies too heavily on elementary teachers to know how to recognize and rate gifted traits.  I see extremely bright and hard-working African immigrants childfen at our local schools.  They have parents who put in the time and effort to try and give the best to their kids.  I always see those kids being ignored by the AAP process.  I've seen more and a few teachers who try and give and edge to the children of their fellow teachers or friends.

AAP needs to be fixed before anything.  These people making the proposal are doing a great disservice  to the URMs by assuming that testing, or studying as hard as other ethnic groups is just not their thing.  Within a couple of decades, we'll likely have African Immigrants being a shining minority.  People should stop patronizing [/quote]

My child used to attend Springfield Estates. That AAP center has lots of African immigrants and also some African Americans. African immigrants behave similarly to Asian immigrants including sending their children to kumon.[/quote]

It's all about community culturere, has nothing to do with race.  [/quote]
