[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many dumb woke/liberal talking points on here[/quote]
Woke? liberal? Stop parroting Fox News. People are pointing out flaws in the system.  I have an AAP kid. She thrived in AAP vs gen ed.  But I still think the selection process if flawed and that the whole AAP=all the smart kids and gen ed=not smart kids is something silly AAP parents tell themselves to make them feel better. [/quote]

I actually agree the selection is flawed when folks with the right skin color are getting selected at 5 times the rate of folks with other skin colors

Aap is supposed to be smart kids but now skin color is more important than actual aptitude[/quote]
PP you are responding to….most of the AAP kids in both of ES and MS schools are white and Asian??[/quote]

a PP already broke it out

[b]URM can get in with scores in the 120s vs whites and asians who get ignored with scores in the high 130s and even 140s[/b]

When you start caring more about woke/liberalism vs actual aptitude you get this kind of insanity

PS most URM think woke white and asian liberals are idiots.

Except the vast majority of those getting in with scores in the 120s are from Title I schools where instruction moves much slower and classes are dominated by ESL learners.  The ceiling is lower but the floor is lower as well.  The vast majority of those who score 130+ and are denied admittance are from high SES schools where gen ed classes are already taught at a much higher level.  They're pulling the top learners out from each elementary, which makes sense.  [/quote]

This.

Not to mention, the number of URM in-pool and being referred is far lower then the White and Asian kids. So the pool of URM kids is a good deal lower then the pool of White and Asian kids.

More likely then not, the kid with a 130 and high GBRSs was going to be fine in Gen Ed at their base school because there were other kids who were on that kids level. There will be other kids who are ahead and in the advanced reading group and in advanced math.

The 120 kid at a Title 1 school is in a class with kids who are not fluent in English and who are several grade levels below the 120 kids. Pulling out the 120 kids gives them an opportunity to be in a class that is on grade level and maybe a bit advanced.

This is why the local ES in-pool scores is needed. The needs of the top 10% at each school is different. Acknowledging that what is advanced at each school is different is a good way to reach the kids who need more at their specific schools instead of insisting that there is one standard across the County.

I get that their scores are lower because their school doesn't compare to one in a more affluent area, and if there's ever a time to try and address this inequality it would  be now as  opposed to when someone is an adult.[/quote]
