[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why can't applications be viewed in a ethnicity, race, and income neutral environment (e.g. take name, address, home school off what the review panel sees)? I am referring to the GT programs. The language immersion programs, IMO, should be dismantled or completely revamped so the options exists for all MCPS students. GT programs should exist to meet the educational needs of students who qualify for them (I know more qualify than are accepted-these programs should be expanded). [/quote] [b]They can, of course. However, the applicants don't live in an ethnicity, race, and income neutral environment.[/b][/quote] What test can you come up with that isn't influenced by income, mother's education level, resources to prep for the test, English as a second language etc ...and would end up roughly reflecting the surrounding population?
