[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] +1 Right? Some people demand we not look at race, and yet, here's MCPS.. breaking equity and achievement down by race. Again.. [b]why is MCPS (and others) so determined to focus on race rather than simply income status[/b]. Do people think there are no Asian or white families who are lower income in this county? I feel like this group gets lost in the shuffle.[/quote] Because both race/ethnicity and income are relevant factors.[/quote] No, none of these are relevant factors. Sure, there is correlation with educational performance, but not nearly as strong as the correlation of past educational performance. The strongest predictor of poor grades and test scores in 4th grade, is poor grades and test scores in 3rd grade. There is no reason to rely on any grouping other than performance itself.[/quote]
