[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I know there’s been a backlash on this board regarding FCPS’s AAP equity initiatives but I should add that in my parent referral form, I mentioned that my DC reads and writes what I imagine is an under-represented language in AAP and they didn’t get in, so whatever equity initiative is in play didn’t benefit DC, despite what some posters might think. It’s all quite mysterious. It’s possible the scores just didn’t hit the mark for our school? 🤷‍♀️ [/quote]

What does this have to do with an equity initiative?[/quote]

Did you missed the part about mentioning that DC speaks an underrepresented language? Underrepresentation = equity.[/quote]

No, I got that part. Let’s say it is Spanish. How is the kid speaking Spanish helpful? Maybe his au pair taught him. Maybe he went to an immersion preschool. What does this have to do with the kid be URM?[/quote]

Oh, because it’s a language that’s not typically learned by non native speakers or taught by au pairs (lol). Can’t tell if you’re being deliberately dense?[/quote]

NP here. Knowing another language doesn’t correlate completely with the factors listed on the GBRS. Does your kid know Spanish and French because the parents respectively have roots in Spanish- and French-speaking countries?  Or did your kid teach themselves Esperanto because they have a desire to learn new languages?
