[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am often offended by those who think "FARMs" children are chic b/c they add flavor to the school or they enhance diversity or they teach the privileged others about tolerance and respect.

blah blah blah

FARMs should only be used by those in education. This term is dangerous in the hands of most parents, as most have already formed an image of a "FARM" student.

It's disgusting.

FWIW, t[b]eachers have no FARMs data[/b]; that is strictly info. shared with administrators so that they can track down who may need breakfast (or even dinner), who benefits from reduced college fees, who may be eligible for certain programs.

So think before you post, as so many of [b]you sound incredibly ignorant.[/b]  [/quote]

Pot meet kettle.

Teachers don't need data in order to figure it out. They are smart that way. Or very good at picking up on the obvious. Sure, there will be a percentage that you can't figure out but for the most part they will know. [/quote]

I am 19:48.  Being smart does not correlate with being prejudice.  When I look at my students, I cannot tell if the third child in the 5th row is FARMs.  What an absolutely sick way to view the world, PP.

Tell me this (since you seem to be an expert) - What good does it do for a teacher to have that knowledge anyway?  I stated earlier that administrators are privy to that information for the reasons mentioned above.  but for teachers?  Please enlighten me, guru.[/quote]
