[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would agree with that. However, I don't agree that they should lower the bar for FARMS kids. They need extra support, yes, but [b]they need to be measured with the same yard stick as everyone else[/b]. Otherwise, to the child, you are telling them that they aren't as smart as the other kids, so they don't need to do as well. Not a good message.[/quote] Sure, but which yard stick are we going to use?[/quote] Doesn't matter. Just use the same one for *all* kids.[/quote] Of course it matters. If it didn't matter, we could use time and date of birth as a yardstick (for example, admit everybody who was born between 6 am and 11:59 am on May 23), or BMI (for example, admit everybody with a certain BMI calculated to 3 decimal places). The results you get depend on the yardstick you use.[/quote]
