[quote=Anonymous][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]

I think gifted programs should be for kids who are truly gifted not for parents who can pay for extra testing  which is currently the case in fcps. If 50% of the school is gifted then it's not really supporting the highly gifted kids[/quote]

All kids are gifted on one way or other. School system identify the gift and help ALL students to reach their potential. Kids work hard and perform better and they should have opportunities too. Why do you think that kids who work hard should not have opportunities? Why do you think that only a few should have get opportunities? why not all students? Why are you discriminating against high performers?[/quote]
