[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically speaking, intelligence is equally distributed across the human race. If you dispute me on this, maybe go check on your whatever makes you think like that (racism? elitism? who knows?...). So to spell equal outcome to those of you too who benefitted from your shiny education but choose to feign ignorance: similar graduation rates, access to similar types of higher education, access to internships and exchange programs... statistically speaking.

So yes, kids at Mt Vernon will need more resources to get there. And that's exactly what FCPS ought to be doing. (My kid is in one of the "richer" side of the pyramids. The parents around here do a great job of setting the kids on their paths. They don't need, and will not use *more*.)[/quote]

Sounds like more of the race to the bottom.

If FCPS really wants to improve MVHS it can get rid of the largely useless IB program and reassign some West Potomac neighborhoods there. That might improve the school without so obviously embracing a race to the bottom to improve graduation rates, etc.  If intelligence is so equally distributed there should be no need to lower standards just to engineer the equal outcomes you desire.
