[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is a DEI thing at all.  FCPS is trying to keep the largest number of parents happy.  There are a lot more parents of kids with a 120-130 IQ who think their kids are super special and need to be in a gifted program than there are parents of kids who truly cannot have their needs met in a regular classroom.

"Lot of parents" dont care about AAP and Gen Ed difference but FCPS board members targets them as a voting bloc and highlight their relatively lower presence in AAP as them being excluded due to higher merit standards. So lowering standards is framed as necessary to achieve inclusion of that large voting bloc. [/quote]

Yes, the irony is that the groups being targeted for inclusion probably don't care about inclusion all that much.  See the thread on the FCPS forum about the frustration the ESOL teachers have getting them to pay attention to their kids' education at all, in light of more basic issues at home.  They don't seem to care about equity as much as the do-gooders in admin.  And the non-AAP parents are burning with resentment that their kids have to stay in gen ed --which has become remedial because of all the ESL and LD kids who are now mainstreamed.  [/quote]
