So address the link, how do you stop the white and Asian kids from performing better than the black and brown kids? This is about wealth and not about race. You can’t make poor kids magically rich. That’s not how it works and taking all the honors slots away from them won’t help.

Nobody is taking honors or AP slots away from anyone. There is no such thing as an "AP slot" in MCPS.

That's fine so every English can be AP. If you say so.

Explain how you prevent the white kids from doing better like in that link. You keep ignoring the question. Look at the link, how do you prevent that?

Who is talking about preventing any kid from doing well?

So what's the plan then? Send some kids from Potomac 15 miles away to change the education culture of the rest of the school? To teach Hispanics how to speak English? To teach black kids how to study? What exactly is the purpose? How do you stop the white kids from doing well and everyone else from doing poorly like in the link. You keep ignoring the link because it's an example of the future of MoCo. The next step will be to blame them because they're white.

You don't understand. It's not about helping the Black and Hispanic kids do better. MCPS considers that a lost cause. The new plan is to sprinkle Whites and Asians into the lower performing schools so that the average test scores go up. Get it now? Your child is considered a tool to MCPS.

yup because the only thing lower performing blacks and hispanics need is to be around higher performing whites and asians and poof magically higher performing. Now that is actual racisim and guess what that is what the SJW are actually proposing. So who is really the racist here.

This really is the essence of it, isn't it. It's not about money, because Focus Schools and Title 1 schools do get more money. It really is about simply moving the ratios around so that AA and Latinx kids can be around Asian/White kids. Hilarious, and truly a racist proposition.

Amazing the way they take over a thread. Like they put out a call to their little group or something. Yes, the real racists are out there. But I don’t think they are the people you really want to engage with over boundaries in MoCo. Do that at the meetings.

Hey, "don't over use those loaded words" PPs - is it ok to call this PP a racist? They think that

-Hispanic kids can't speak English
-black kids don't know how to study
-white kids will get blamed for being white

These are stereotypes and don't apply to all kids but the numbers don't lie.Why is it that these 2 groups perform poorly? it could be tied to SES but I know plenty of low SES success stories, including myself. What is the common denominator of success across income, race and culture? Parents valuing education. If a parent values education, the child will usually be more motivated to succeed. My parents were immigrants. One had tech school education and one didnt graduate college. But they both knew the importance of education and instilled that in me. We couldnt afford tutors and they didn't have the ability to help me, but I knew they would not be happy if I didn't do well.
Can MCPS change parents perceptions? I dont know but I think it would be worth trying to do that versus continuing to do things that just don't work.

No one in MCPS wants to answer the question in bold. They will jump through million hoops to make every excuse under the sun to explain the under performance of these 2 groups.

its racism obviously. totally trolling. SJW actually believe this crap

I said it before a couple pages ago

This is nothing new

MoCo West vs Easts
Arlington North vs South
DC WOTP vs EOTR
Even Fairfax NW/West vs South/East/Route 1 Corridor

it's called human nature and a fact of life. People of means select areas that have better schools period and if you start mucking around people of means will leave entirely like what has happened in Alexandria.

But they will drive the area and schools and teachers into the ground trying! That is a big issue.

It’s bigger than that.

Why did Jack smith take the test score results templates of black, Hispanic, white, Asian, and then another section farms and esol and remake it? And rename it some BS like MCPS Equity Model?

Now you look up a schools map test or may year end Pearson’s test and see the newly named FOCUS groups by race and by income for jack smith:

Black farms, non farms
Hispanic farms, non farms
Other farms, non farms

No effort to include cash pay jobs in assigning Farms status. And remember, the more farms you have per school, you might kick out and get title 1 status, which is a bonanza because then the feds pay extra $4000 per pupil and you can have two teachers/aides per class in elementary school plus lower class sizes. Awesome sauce.

Unfortunately there are many areas of the country (most) where housing and this schools are segregated by race/religion/socio economics. MCPS is not an exception and will likely not resolve the issue.

America sux, it needs to change. Same for MoCo and MCPS. Change it to accommodate the underperformers. Now!

It starts at the home. Parents need to actually parent. Actually engage with the child, read to it and interact, don't yell and cuss at it or slap it around. Expecting the school to change issues that start from age 0 in the home is impossible. It's why the achievement gap still exists after almost a decade of failed policy to fix it.
