[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unlike much of what FCPS cooks up, I actually think this is a smart way to pursue the goal of equity.[/quote] It's smart if you apply it only to Title I schools, but it's incredibly unfair if you are, for example, an Asian family at a high SES school.[/quote] For AAP, what does being Asian have to do with it? I don't think they consider race, do they? It's smart because it acknowledges that kids from poorer communities have had less educational advantages by second grade, but if they are at the top ten percent of their school they probably still have enormous potential. Nothing wrong with that. [/quote] I'll just tell you that we did an experiment. One of my mixed race children has Asian + Caucasian checked on all her school forms, the other one has Caucasian only. They had very similar NNAT/COGAT and grades, but only the Caucasian one got into AAP.[/quote]
