[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The W parents really can’t help but reveal their racism, can they?[/quote]

NP and Actually—what’s Weird that this post only revealed your OWN racist worldview—
OP didn’t mention or even suggest race at all. Just emphasized that not all students perform at a high level or choose to meet high standards even when provided the resources to achieve a high outcome. So for the resultant be equitable, the system necessarily must  prevent high achievers from out-performing lower ones.

It is YOU who assumed that those who would under-perform would not be white (or Asian I assume?)—since you also assumed OP is representing a viewpoint at the W schools, who can is majority white/asian.

But OP never suggested either of these things.
It is you who is displaying racism by your assumption that an underperforming student would naturally need your protection from “racist” W parents—since, in your mind, the underperforming students can’t possibly be white? That’s concerning on many levels. Look in the mirror. [/quote]

Either you don’t know MCPS’s data or you’re playing dumb.

If you know MCPS’s data, then you know that the majority of the “low performers” are Black and Hispanic kids and the majority of the “high performers” are White and Asian.

So when you say that low performers will never improve, you are de facto talking about Black and Hispanic kids.[/quote]

No you are. If your mind is set like that, everything you read/hear is thru that prism. Stop with fake outrage.
