[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reform is done by giving equal opportunities to everyone not by rigging the system to get the results you want.[/quote]

What do you propose that is truly equal opportunity? [/quote]

How do you define equal opportunity?[/quote]

All kids in FCPS have a legit shot regardless of their family’s income or background.

In the past 2 years, a Longfellow kid without experience factors has 0 chance of getting in.  How does that fly with your definition of equal opportunity?  Or “privileged” kids can be “collateral damage” in your crusade for equity?  [/quote]

Weird my kid with 0 experience factors got in from Longfellow. Not sure what you're talking about.[/quote]

Was your kid an AIME qualifier?  A Mathcounts Nationals competitor?  A Science Olympiad nationals competitor?  Taking Pre-Calc or Calc in 8th grade?  If the answer to all of these is no, it proves that the new process is letting less qualified kids leapfrog the outliers who need TJ.  [/quote]

Was every single admitted student in the past one of these things? No, of course not.

So irrational.
