[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, testing is "biased."
Teacher observations are "biased."

At what point do you not get to blame "bias"? [/quote]

Bias is a real thing.  Do you also believe that climate change is a myth and that dinosaurs lived on earth at the same time as modern humans?[/quote]

Teacher bias was studied in 2005, when a team of researchers [b]gave 207 elementary school teachers vignettes about a student with gifted traits and asked them to decide whether the student should be considered for accelerated classes.[/b] A third of the teachers were told the student they were considering was white, a third were told the student was black, and a third weren’t told the student’s race. [b]Teachers who believed the student was African-American were least likely to recommend accelerated [/b]

But yea, no bias there.  :roll: [/quote]

Did you read the comments to OP's article?  It's hard to know how relevant that information is, but it does give me pause.  [/quote]
