[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So now you are calling people that don't like SBG "racists." Of course, that's one way to scare people and get them to shut up. Here is the student rep giving a speech about the impact of SBG on students earlier this fall.

It is the middle and lower income kids who really suffer when they are put at a disadvantage in college admissions. I’d really like to see the impact on GPAs for kids at every level (not just those who were struggling, but also kids in honors and AP classes.). If those haven’t changed, I would be more supportive. But I have yet to see those released to parents and until I do, I’m going to assume SBG is performing as intended, with lower GPAs for top students and higher GPAs for struggling students. [/quote]

A low income but very motivated student has an edge with admissions bc low income is a hook and the schools want this.

A motivated middle to upper class kid is disadvantaged in admissions bc they are a dime a dozen.

SBG and equity grading 100% hurts all kids at the top and this trickles down to everyone until about the C level and then it begins to help those kids downward to the bottom of the pack. It’s a terrible thing to put upon a few schools in a high achieving school district and geographic area like this.
