that is a loaded statement. By engaged you mean white? and thats how you know its not title 1?


maybe they were looking at cars that people were driving? clothes people were wearing? shoes? bags? conversations about travels? and based on all of this determined that based on the people who attended, it did not appear that 40% of the school qualified for Free and Reduce Lunch?


OMFG

Why would you assume engaged means white? Back to School night had many parents of different races.


I think the person who wrote "engaged" was purposely trying to be vague and should just say what she saw.

Different PP here -- lady, what's wrong with you? Engaged means what engaged means. If you believe a particular group is not engaged, well, then work with them so they become. more. engaged.
