Here's the goal, folks:

"What we've found consistently across schools, whether they be middle schools, or high schools, or schools that serve lots of low income kids, and kids of color, or suburban predominantly white students and high income, is that the percent of A's that teachers give decreases because there's not so much inflation going on around doing all the homework and everything. Interestingly, the decrease in A's occurs most dramatically for white children and higher income children. The A rate of kids of color and low income actually increases a little bit."

FCPS doesn't want White and Asian kids succeeding.  We've seen it with TJ, and we'll see it with "equity grading" under Dr. Reid.

She'll tell us it's all about "reimagining the possibilities," but it's mostly about imagining a world where the playing field is leveled by whatever means achieve more "equal outcomes."[/quote]

You always have the option of private school. [/quote]
