[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Many southern states have used different criteria for disadvantaged children of all races. In the city where I used to work, children from homes viewed as "at risk" needed to score at WISC Full Scale Score of 115 (or either a Verbal or Nonverbal score of 130), while children from homes viewed as not at risk, needed a Full Scale Score of 130 to qualify. We felt that if a child could come from the local public housing community and a limited educational background yet earn a Full Scale Score of 115 (without all the prepping that many DCUM posters say they do), then that child deserved a spot. " It would really be interesting to see how they define "at risk". If people are willing to PREP, would they be willing to live in a worse neighborhood? Get divorced? [/quote] Now that's an entertaining idea. Are people so devoted to their child's education that they're willing to reduce their household income to FARMS eligibility levels?[/quote]
