[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what will happen, all the wealthy kids that are "shipped off" to the poorer performing schools will perform better on tests and take all the seats in the AP and honors classes. [b] The original kids in the district won't have the option of taking AP and honors classes any longer[/b].  You'll have a school within a school like some of the poor performing Virginia schools.  Explain to me, how will you prevent this from happening:

That's not how it works in MCPS.[/quote]

So address the link, how do you stop the white and Asian kids from performing better than the black and brown kids?  This is about wealth and not about race.  You can’t make poor kids magically rich.  That’s not how it works and taking all the honors slots away from them won’t help.[/quote]

Nobody is taking honors or AP slots away from anyone. There is no such thing as an "AP slot" in MCPS.[/quote]

That's fine so every English can be AP.  If you say so.

Explain how you prevent the white kids from doing better like in that link.  You keep ignoring the question.  Look at the link, how do you prevent that?[/quote]

Who is talking about [i]preventing[/i] any kid from doing well?[/quote]
