[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads that attempt to sew right-wing outrage are so silly and predictable. They may want to give it up since MD voters are as dumb as those in VA.[/quote]

There you go again. Justify denying opportunities for some students and only focus on students of certain groups. Why? Doesn't all students deserve opportunity to excel in education? [/quote]

The equity accountability model looks at data of student performance to monitor that students in traditionally lower performing groups are doing well. It's not plan to give white/asian UMC kids bad grades or something [/quote]

But the data shows a different picture though. The lawsuit claims that Asians and highly abled students are not given the same opportunities that other (specific groups) students are provided with. I wonder why leave out high performers just because they work hard? Why deny them opportunities in magnet programs and resort to (non-transparent) lottery system instead of quantitative methods (performance) and pick who you want to provide opportunities to? Wouldn't this cause lack of trust in MCPS as a system?[/quote]

Perhaps, but most of what you describe is half-truths and misleading. Using local norms is a best practice. Admitting the top kids from any school is better than favoring the less able preppers. Further, the lotteries were only done since the maker of the CogAT wouldn't allow their test to be given remotely during a deadly global pandemic. [/quote]
