[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of postings over the last few weeks on the 2nd grade AAP pool made me realize that many on this board don't actually know what "equity" means.  It is NOT equal treatment for all.  It is "right sizing" the treatment based on the needs of the population.

Equity means providing the Title I kids more benefits than the kids from the higher SES schools because the Title I kids theoretically need greater support to have an equal footing as the kids from the SES schools.  [/quote]

Equity should mean the same starting point.  Totally fine to spend more at some schools to pick up other schools that may be behind.  The issue with AAP should be that no one gets in who does not deserve to be there.  Have lots of programs to get disadvantaged kids that can qualify the right materials, teaching, tutoring.  Have an almost AAP where for a couple year there is a pool of kids that are getting brought along to join.  Just don't add kids who should not be there.[/quote]
