[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MCPS or any other school system wants to combat racism, they should prioritize raising the academic accomplishments of groups who traditionally underperform average student outcomes. Was this included in the audit? [/quote]
+1 money would be better spent closing the achievement gap than on a useless "audit" with no meaningful followup.  The great equalizer is education.  Focus on that if you want to address racism.[/quote]

The achievement gap is something that the school can't do much about. It is a function of parental education level and student home life, like family values. No amount of money is going to change these things. MCPS can't raise people's kids for them or tell them what to value. It can only provide choices and opportunities so people can make the best choices based on their goals and values.[/quote]
Well, if that's the case, then MCPS might as well give up on the achievement gap and racism because you can't stop racism as it starts in the home.  No amount of money can stop racism.  MCPS can't stop parents from teaching their children to be racist.

So, let's spend money where it can make a difference then, and that is education for the kids who want to be educated, and give teachers a raise.[/quote]
