[b]Because they have already claimed links between income/demographics to performance. [/b]

I don't have a problem when people use these perspectives to support their views. People have different views, sometimes due to different perspectives.

I am simply pointing out that this is also (if you do not like the word "truly") about boosting the performance of certain students - clearly not something related to the facts in the PP.

No. It is an end in itself, in the view of BoE. Even if you don't think that it should be, it is.[/quote]

It doesn't matter.

They do something, claim that they do it for certain reasons.

If you agree or disagree, especially if you disagree, you do not always have to argue against the reasons they claim. Taking a different perspective and showing why it is not good, is also a valid approach.

Good grief. It's like trying to have a discussion with Humpty Dumpty in Through The Looking Glass.[/quote]

Apparently our focuses are quite different. You were trying to show why BoE (and/or some posters here) were proposing those (or at least why they claim they were doing proposing those) changes - for demographic and income disparities.

I don't want to argue against those reasons. These can be very noble reasons. I wouldn't want to try arguing against something that already holds the moral high ground, would I?

In the PP, I was basically telling you that their proposed changes are effectively aimed at "helping" low performing students, so the facts listed in PP (which mostly affect high performers) are not relevant.
