[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of postings over the last few weeks on the 2nd grade AAP pool made me realize that many on this board don't actually know what "equity" means.  It is NOT equal treatment for all.  It is "right sizing" the treatment based on the needs of the population.

Equity means providing the Title I kids more benefits than the kids from the higher SES schools because the Title I kids theoretically need greater support to have an equal footing as the kids from the SES schools.  [/quote]

Totally irrelevant. The adult in the picture is NOT taller because they work harder. They were BORN earlier. Similarly, 3 same-age teenagers with different heights won't be relevant, either. They were BORN with the genes.

By FCPS "equity", they blatantly talk about penalizing hard work.[/quote]

To FCPS, it means raising the fence to block the tall kid because they could never get stacked boxes to work for the short kid. [/quote]

Lies. [/quote]

Standards based grading and the cluster model suggest otherwise [/quote]

Lies. Tall kids aren't blocked. [/quote]

Sure, honors for all classes are absolutely taught at an honors level. [/quote]
