[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the AA parents posting here, based on what I've seen and heard through the grapevine. I also think this is true for Latino kids (FWIW, my kids are half-Latino; it's too soon to know with our younger kids, but the oldest did get into the program on appeal last year), especially Latino kids whose parents don't speak English very well. It's messed up, because if a kid comes from a home where English isn't the first language and the parents don't have a lot of formal education and they STILL manage to come within a few points of the cutoff, you'd think there would be an aggressive move to get those kids into the program, if for no other reason than to make the numbers for URM students look a lot better than they do. I do think some schools work really hard to help kids like these, but schools with great AARTs can only do so much if the AART and parent liaisons are on part-time contracts. [/quote]
