[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow lots to read but thank you for the summary. Early identification of URM students and early mentoring can help achieve equity without discrimination against another group.  [/quote]

Agreed.  But how do we do this?  Very important issue so I am truly interested in hearing how this can be achieved.[/quote]

If you read through the docs, there was a blurb backed with actual stats that there were enough URM black and hispanic kids in level IV centers taking geometry in 8th to fill half a TJ freshman class, but they were not applying for TJ .

If the students are prepared, but not interested, [b]for whatever reason[/b], then lowering the standards to something almost any fcps can meet (algebra in 8th and low GPA cut off for middle school) is a huge mistake.

As a parent of a TJ kid, I think the bolded needs to be looked at.  WHY are kids/parents not interested?  (And some are overly interested.)  [/quote]

It's not really advertised at high poverty schools.[/quote]
