[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP- they have quotas on white people to allow for underrepresented . The whole program is useless[/quote]

They don't.  Use your gifted brain.  [b]They keep expanding the program in an attempt to capture more URMs, to limited success[/b].  There's no quota.[/quote]

Yep.  And the only real result of expanding the program is that even more slightly above average white and Asian kids from upper middle class households are getting into AAP.  I think my kids' AAP classes were over 90% white and Asian in schools that are only 50% white and Asian otherwise.  [/quote]

I’m the one who posted above that had an asian kid at a young scholars school. One year, 18 kids went to the AAP and only 1 kid was black. Black child’s mom was a doctor. My younger child’s year also had one black student go and she was adopted.

Point is the young scholars program doesn’t seem to be working or not enough to get URMs into AAP.

At that center, there were black kids but they were kids of black professionals or children of African immigrants. These parents were mostly all educated and involved in children’s education. At the end of the day, it is SES.

We have since moved. Our new school is low FARMs/low ESOL. AAP is majority Asian. I want to say 60%. The base school is majority white but AAP is majority Asian. Most kids being bused to the center are Asian. [/quote]
