[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just seems unfair that my kid hears about this stuff and asks if they can do it, and I have to tell them no. Then when they ask why, I have to tell them that it's not our fault. Essentially though, its discrimination.

My kid could absolutely benefit from cool STEM trips. [/quote]life is unfair.  It is unfair that children face discrimination and disabilities too. [/quote]
Seems like a poor answer. You support school imposed discrimination? I just don't understand why they wouldn't want all children to partake?[/quote]

Are you in a very low performing pyramid? If so, then I empathize with you and feel that all students in the pyramid should be eligible. If you're somewhere like Oakton and nowhere near being at the poverty level, then no, those funds and programs are not meant for you. Should we all be eligible for welfare?

But the program is not for poor people. It's also for English language learners, black or hispanic of any means and for 2E which I think is some kind of learning disabilities/gifted combo? So a middle class hispanic kid gets enrichment that my kid doesn't... because they're hispanic? That's not great.

I think if it was just a poverty related thing, it wouldn't seem so bad. [/quote]
