[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I believe they are not actually trying to help URM. They aren't doing anything to prepare the targeted groups for TJ level work, are not doing anything to increase applicants from these groups or even asking why these groups dont want to attend/apply... but are just changing the mix of who is being accepted from the current pool. If URM are not in the current pool how will that help them gain admission? We either have clowns running this or deceitful leadership.[/quote] If the kid has real interest in TJ STEM, there are lot of resources like Khan Academy, Youtube education and Libraries etc. Nothing can stop the kid. Now everything is online and at your finger tips. President Abraham Lincoln is known to have completed his initial studies [u]under street lights[/u] and had to struggle hard to survive during the initial few years of his life. [/quote] There are great URM students who choose not to apply. This is low hanging fruit for FCPS leadership if they actually cared to move the needle. Also, no, you can't expect children to know the full breadth of information available and how to access it. Parents and other adults need to help guide them. This is assuming they have reliable access to a computer and internet. [/quote]
