[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone is willing to understand why it's important to close the achievement gap between Hispanics/African Americans, they should read this first: https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/McKinsey/Industries/Public%20Sector/Our%20Insights/The%20economic%20impact%20of%20closing%20the%20racial%20wealth%20gap/The-economic-impact-of-closing-the-racial-wealth-gap-final.pdf It's easy to say "not our problem," but what FCPS is trying to do has some merit. It starts with closing the gap in the years that make a difference to the trajectory of the child's life. [/quote] I haven't seen anyone say, "It's not our problem." But admitting unqualified students to an AAP program is not the way to close the gap. You're sending the wrong message to these kids. They may come to believe that they don't need to work hard. They may have self-esteem issues if they can't keep up. Or the program becomes watered down and the truly gifted kids suffer.[/quote]
