[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^There have been numerous studies that have shown that teachers are less likely to "see" giftedness in black or Hispanic children than they are for similar white and Asian children.  [/quote]

PP who appealed. I didn't want to say this, but yeah. This.

Our school also has one annual goal, reducing the performance gap for black children. We have a small black population like 5 percent, so this might play a role. My kid was performing well on the i-ready and I imagine they saw a compliant, good student who they could use for that purpose. I don't think that fair since my child has a right to an education based on her own needs and a right to access whatever services she's entitled to that is offered by the county. I sniffed that out in my conversations with people at the school, but it's a good reminder to black or latino parents. We have to be super careful.

Another fun, awesome thing about the black experience in America. Sigh.[/quote]

you are incoherent, and make no sense. you might as well just spare your explanation.[/quote]

I had no trouble understanding her.  Maybe you should read it again.[/quote]

I couldn't understand either! Maybe its just me :( [/quote]

She has two theories:

1) Her (gifted) DD isn’t viewed as such because of racial biases by those evaluating her;
2) Her DD was appropriately recognized as gifted but given a bad GBRS to sabotage her applicationso she would not leave her base to go to the center because her base needs smart black and Hispanic kids to close the achievement gap.

Nothing confusing about it. Either could have happened. Sad but true. [/quote]
