[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this called an "Equity" report. Gifted Education is based on the assumption that everyone is not of equal intelligence, equal ability. [/quote] Because it is assumed that kids of all races are gifted but some are undiscovered.[/quote] Then why do they have to lower standards for some particular races in order to call them gifted or advanced?[/quote] The report recommended strengthening programs like Young Scholars to provide earlier access to services for disadvantaged kids, in the hopes that they will then be able to qualify on their own for AAP. It did not recommend having lower standards for AA and hispanic kids. It is possible, though, that a privileged kid who scores 125 on CogAT has the same natural level of intelligence as an underprivileged kid who scores a 120. [/quote]
