[quote=Anonymous]I had to look up the recommendations.  
* Recommendation 3a: Implement modifications to the selection process used for academically competitive programs in MCPS, comprising elementary centers for highly gifted students and secondary magnet programs, to focus these programs on [i][b]selecting equitably[/b][/i] from among those applicants that demonstrate a capacity to thrive in the program, that include use of [b][b][i]non-cognitive criteria[/i][/b][/b], [i][b]group-specific norms[/b][/i] that benchmark student performance against school peers with comparable backgrounds, and/or a process that offers automatic admissions to the programs for students in the top 5-10% of sending elementary or middle schools [u]in the district[/u]. ?
* Recommendation 3b: Invest resources to expand and enhance early talent development programs for students of [b][i]underrepresented groups[/i][/b] in order to bolster participation of a broader segment of the MCPS student population in academically selective programs.

Don't mind (b) as much as (a).

Why not just pick the smartest [b]regardless[/b] of race, location, or background?  Pretty sure that's the Japanese educational system.[/quote]
