[quote=Anonymous]“ Rigor OF YOUR SCHOOL is critical? Can you please clarify? I hope you mean it is critical that you took the most rigorous classes at your school, and not that it is essential you went to the very best school. Some of us just have to send our children to the local high school and aren’t able to provide the very most rigorous school.”

Yes! Apologies. That means how much a student challenged themself based on what is available at their particular school. W schools, others have very high rigor as a baseline. So at those schools, you are competing more against your own classmates, by extension, for a spot than against the statewide student body.

There are some schools in Md with few or no AP classes available, for example.

However people feel about it: U of Maryland will get less diverse after the Supreme Court case. That is what Sen. Augustine’s bill attempts to counter.

A more diverse classroom is a chance to grow.  There are many values that are important for learning how to contribute to this world: intellect, perspective, experience, knowledge, empathy, etc.
