[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. The top 10% already have an advantage over the other 90%. Would not make sense to put further funds to a group that is already at an advantage.[/quote] DP. Do you not see that our society benefits when we raise the proficiency of the smartest people in our country?[/quote] Do you not see society benefits exponentially more when we raise the proficiency of the lowest performing people in our country?[/quote] No. The upper 10% intelligent people are far more Important to modern society than the bottom 10%. If you don't agree then you're either ignorant or have some biased perspective to further an agenda. The lower 10% can easily be replaced with immigration as well.[/quote] Who do you think the lower 10% generally IS?[/quote] Generally, the lower 10% are not [u]legal[/u] immigrants. This includes many people from Latin America. To say that is to debase, minimize, and group together a diverse population of people.[/quote] So you're just debasing and minimizing illegal immigrant children. Got it.[/quote] Like you said, they're not here legally. They don't deserve the same amount of resources as other groups that legally belong here such as low SES, URM, and legal immigrants. School funding is finite and people keep complaining about limited resources to pay for teachers and student education; we're way past triage for public schools. So sorry, they don't deserve the same treatment as American citizens and legal residents as long as there is a deficit in school funding and general overcrowding in some schools. Although utilitarianism may reduce access to education for some, that's not debasing them. The PP saying that the lower 10% of student performance are obviously immigrants is the one doing the debasing. Was that you??[/quote]
