I agree with this PP.  That's what MCPS seems to be doing.  And, I also agree that it would be more beneficial to the URM population to offer more resources such as smaller class sizes, and additional support versus pushing those students into the HGCs or pushing them into Compacted Math (as is being done at some schools, where every student ends up in CM).

You know what's beneficial to bright kids who are Hispanic/poor/black? Having the same access to MCPS special programs as bright kids who aren't.[/quote]

What special programs bright kids who are URM don't have access to but white and Asian kids do?  Do you mean they are underrepresented in the HGCs? [b]How do you suppose we increase their representation then? [/b]Group specific norms as that notorious choice report recommended? [/quote]

Well, we can try the new processes that MCPS is trying to reduce barriers to entry, and see how that works out.
