[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are black parents in a majority black neighborhood.  It is a mixed bag here. We control the phones completely and some other neighbors do also. But there are some that let their kids do whatever they like. I'm not ready to say what percentage do what.

But to get back to equity grading the idea is to assure that teachers just look at the work and not at who turned it in. This whole conversation is about who turned the work in, and what might or might not be happening at home, kind of feels like a separate topic?[/quote]

If you're not ready to put a percentage on the percentage of black families that aren't managing screen time responsibly, why are you confident that biased grading based on race is significant enough that MCPS needs to take the kind of action you're proposing?

I'd want more evidence of biased grading specifically toward black and brown kids as a distinct problem before committing to such a drastic proposal.[/quote]

You can do the daily WQI tests or you can wait for people to start getting sick and dying. But I suppose people who live off of bottled Fiji water don't need to care as much as the rest of us do[/quote]
