[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is that the same “ bell curve of intelligence “ that was used as an excuse to admit mediocre white boys to Harvard purely because their parents where rich ? If so that’s total bull and admitting poor Black and Hispanic kids of equal drive and intelligence in their place to so called elite programme won’t do zip to the overall rigor.[/quote] DP. I totally agree with you. The destruction of honors/gifted harms poor kids the most. In DC, even the highest needs elementary schools have 5-10 kids who score high on the PARCC despite all their challenges. It is honestly criminal not to scoop up those kids and put them in a gifted program. [/quote] Agreed. But Those slots frequently go to kids who are already in good schools. They just get to go to better schools.[/quote]
