[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While all 4 of the kids profiled are racial minorities, all of them seem to be middle class and not at or below the poverty line.  Discussion of whether FARMS kids can succeed isn't relevant for this thread.  [/quote]

Oh no your assumptions are incorrect they were all low-income kids. Please stop making these false assumptions to spin your false narrative.[/quote]
No way.  Second kid has a basement computer lab at home.  Third kid attended a mostly white school in Arlington, so one of the wealthier N Arlington schools.  Fourth kid takes private music lessons and also lives in a mostly white neighborhood, generally meaning not low income.  Nowhere in the article was income level even addressed.  For this type of article, if any of the kids were FARMS, the article would have made a big deal about it.  It instead focused on race.

It is interesting that the changes mostly affect FCPS kids, yet at least two of the four profiled kids aren't in FCPS.  One is Arlington, and one is Prince William Co.  [/quote]
