[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently Richard Spencer has found this thread and thinks he is being witty with his responses. Non-answers all. [/quote] Nobody is being funny. Why are AA and Hispanic kids admitted in such low numbers? Because the AA and Hispanic kids who apply don't have the credentials. And throwing a kid who isn't prepared into TJ isn't doing them any favors. Now, why don't they have the credentials? In FCPS, my strong guess is SES. AA and Hispanic students in FCPS tend to be lower SES than white and Asian kids. And do you know who has even weaker representation numbers than AA or Hispanic kids? FARMS kids. FCPS is 28% FARMs and TJ is less than 1% FARMS.[/quote] Or just possibly the metric being used has a cultural bias that most often favors others groups... Groups who benefit from this love to claim otherwise, but keep telling yourself it's merit if it helps you sleep at night.[/quote]
