[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will the quality of the program suffer? I am a professor at a tier 1 university. We admit students under affirmative action. Has the quality of the academic programs changed? I would argue no, most professors teach the same content and grade accordingly. Unfortunately, a few students fail or receive D's because they are not prepared. Most earn B's and C's because the work is difficult. But this is yet another gap. MCPS does not want that gap. They must then find a way to bring everyone in the magnet to the same level...[b]likely by lowering the bar.[/b][/quote] This is what people are REALLY worry about. Parents don't care (and kids sure don't) what color students are... As long as they are good enough to get in without changing admission criteria or special considerations and good enough to keep up.
