[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More ridiculousness from the School Board sure to be soon on display.

How great FCPS will be when they find completely arbitrary ways to recognize the giftedness of an additional 10% of the white kids and 25% of the black and Hispanic kids...or maybe the academic program for the other 60% will just be even more of a joke...[/quote]

How can they get 25% black and hispanic kids in certain schools when most areas of mclean and langley are 70% white and 25% Asian? This only makes sense in areas outside of mclean and langley pyramids.[/quote]

You're misunderstanding.  They're not going to have 25% of the kids in AAP be African American and another 25% be Hispanic.  They instead want 25% of the African Americans to be found AAP eligible.  So, if McLean schools have only 8 black kids, they want 2 of them to be found AAP eligible.  The actual AAP class will still be almost entirely white and Asian, as that is the demographic makeup of the schools.  [/quote]
