[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What VDOE wants to do is make college admissions harder for gifted kids and high achievers by leveling the playing field. That’s why they don’t want you to take advanced classés earlier on to give you an edge when applying for college. [/quote]

Uh. I think the goal is leveling the playing field so more kids can succeed. It’s not about “making college admissions harder”. It’s not a zero-sum game.  :roll:

It’s public school and [b]the field is already leveled at kindergarten[/b]. It’s what you make out of it. Underprivileged kids needs role models and mentors to get them where they need to go. Put resources there so they see the track and work towards it. My kids are not privileged but I show them there is a path for success and they need to work hard to get there. I have no money for tutors or expensive class but they watch lots of YouTube math videos and khan academy to get there. Sometimes we watch the same videos like 5 times to understand the concept but we don’t give up because we see and know there is a track for success. And not everyone needs to and wants to go to Harvard. Not everyone wants to and needs to take AP classes. Honors classes are free for all, sign your kids up if you feel they can do it. Have more options, don’t add barriers. [/quote]

You don’t honestly think that, do you? GMAFB.
