[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While FCPS is dumbing down for blacks and latinos? My DS is black and has an IQ of 150+ on the WISC IV and SB. He has been thriving in AAP for several years and continues to outperform peers. There are MANY children in my sons's AAP classes who are barely working above grade level. But guess what, I don't mind at all. They aren't harming anyone. They aren't taking away an opportunity from my child. In fact, they are enriching his life and he's learning that everyone has strengths in different areas. It also is character building that he's able to help his peers. This is the problem with so many parents, people in general, they are so afraid of something different. Or someone taking an opportunity from them. Our society is better when everyone has an opportunity to meet their full potential. If your child is truly gifted they will thrive. And if you're concerned they aren't getting enough from the program offer tons of enrichment at home. That's what we do and it works. [b]I don't go around saying why are these dumb white or Asian kids being allowed to learn alongside with my superior son. That sort of talk is offensive. And I'm sick of the notion that it's somehow okay when the races are reversed.[/b][/quote] I agree you that every child has their own strengths. Is it okay if my child can't dunk or probably not shoot a good 3 pointer, but still be in a high school team? unhhh nooo....When it comes to sports you pick the best of the best so they can get to NBA or represent US team. How is it not the same for academics? Dont you want US to produce the best of the best doctors, scientists, inventors, professors in the world? Well it starts here at school. I am an Asian and I am not ashamed that my son is not built for serious sports. I focus on what he is good at and I try to help him that way. Blame it on the gene or the bringing up. My husband tried running for 6 months around the soccer field but never helped. We tried Chess for a couple of sessions and he fit in to the chess club right away and he is doing extremely well. As much I want my son to go to colleges on a sports category and good scholarship, I understood that its not gonna happen. Its hard for parents to accept what their children cannot do more than what they can do. [/quote] You're pretty racist even if your son can't dunk[/quote]
