[quote=Anonymous]>>>Please note that if you are a parent of a high performing or GT African American and Latino child, then, you too better fight like Hell. Lower performing minority students (specifically African American and Latino) are negative influences towards GT AA and Latino students. There is way too much social pressure to not value education and to engage in social destructive behaviors. You want your child to thrive in an environment where being an intellectual is phenomenal and not in an environment will they will be ostracized for "acting white". <<< I have taught in 2 high-FARMS elementary schools and one high-FARMS high school in MoCo. The quoted text is absolutely true. Parents of high-achieving AA and Latino kids must steer their kids away from low-SES ones. Too much association can really derail the academically talented kids. White and Asian high-performing kids self-segregate; I have never seen any issues. [/quote]
