[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t the SB realize that you can’t just throw a lawyer up there at the end and say “admission can’t co sister race” and expect it not now not be challenged?

This is ALL about race. This did not start talking about geographic diversity. And they have still made clear diversifying race is the goal by the reporting back to the SB.

All you’ve done is make it easier for kids who go to private schools that live in crappy districts to get in. Those kids are in private for a reason — their parents have money and they live in a crappy district. It will in no way help diversity.

And how does this impact Arlington kids who apply?  They have to get in competing against who?  How are they accounted for in all this?  [/quote]

I believe this will make it harder for kids attending private schools to get in, not easier.  They will be competing against public kids as before, but in a smaller pool given the set-asides by FCPS middle school.  And the "experience factors" that FCPS is committing to consider will look more favorably on escaping a gang in El Salvador than getting a bad sunburn in Vail. [/quote]
