[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admittance into any advanced program whether aap or TJ, should be double blind. No name, no sex, no race. Just the numbers. I would be incredibly offended if I were given special treatment based on my race or cultural heritage. It's extremely insulting. Double blind truly is the only way to go.[/quote] It's more insulting to be gifted and not identified due to racial and cultural biases. [/quote] Are you white? It is much more insulting to have standards that say the asians need 145 to qualify, the whites 132, the hispanics 121 & the AAs 112 for example. If I were a gifted person from an under represented group, this type of admittance would be so offensive. If I were asian I would lawyer up becaue my gifted child who scored above 99% of the kids accepted was denied resources that they more than qualified for. [/quote] Not PP, but no one cares what you would do. [/quote]
