[quote=Anonymous]MCPS also has a diversity hiring initiative. So it's not just a box kids check. Schools love hiring "role models" for kids, which is understandable. IMO, it's gotten a little out of hand. My friend, who's Iranian, checks the white box, too, and doesn't consider herself a minority. In fact, many ME kids, who are indeed olive-complected, check the white box. I wish we could focus on culture instead of skin color, but the issues around under-performing students often center on race. And now ESSA focuses on performance gaps that also center on race. So even a small minority of under-performing kids can decrease a school's rating. [/quote]
