[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people are sympathetic to efforts to boost performance of struggling students, but the evidence shows that is not the actual effect of MCPS "equity" efforts. In fact, "equity" has hollowed out the education in MCPS and thus continues to hurt all the students. MCPS is a Potemkin village, and is in dire need of an audit to determine whether it is actually educating students as it says it is.

A few examples of how "equity" manifests in MCPS schools in practice:
  -Elimination of honors classes (or rebranding grade-level class as honors as in the case of middle school English).
   -Lowering the level of instruction to the lowest common denominator
  -50% rule for assignments
  -Exclusion of students from schools with large number of gifted students from admission to gifted magnet programs
  -Lowering academic standards (including but not limited to grade inflation).
  -Restorative Justice/lowering standards of discipline, removing consequences for offenders and placing the burden of offenses on victims (and students wanting to learn)
   -Closing of alternative schools and mainstreaming students with significant behavior problems in regular classes
  -Replacing challenging classic novels with contemporary "flavor of the month" books (or graphic novels) at markedly lower reading level
  -Novels featuring communists or socialists as protagonists used in the curriculum as early as grade school
  -Watching videos or listening to audiobooks instead of reading 
  -De-emphasizing effective writing in favor of other means of communication
  -Group work instead of individual work to conceal both the achievement of the high achievers and the deficiencies of the low achievers
  -Free feminine products in the girls/womens room
  -Free feminine products in the boys/mens room
  -More sexual content at a younger age in books and materials in school
  -More violent content at a younger age in books and material in school
