[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equal opportunity does not lead to equal outcomes. There is no vast amount of untapped talent. Throwing resources at low performers won't significantly lift them. If equity is the goal, the only way to get there is to handicap the very top performers. This is exactly what MCPS is doing. [/quote] My kid is a top performer. In a magnet when they were still competitive and the selection process disadvantaged kids from high performing schools, NMF, math through MCV, LA, DE and beyond. And, I absolutely think MCPS should invest more in bringing up the many kids that aren’t backed with endless parental involvement rather than giving even more opportunities to my own outlier kid. She will do fine on her own.[/quote]
