A Colorado school is taking another look at how "gifted" students are selected for a magnet program. Students are given extra points on their assessment if English is not their first langauage, and if they recieve federal meals benefits.
What bearing does the source of a child's lunch have on the child's intelligence and academic ability?
One of my biggest criticisms of the current school system is that children cannot be summed up by test scores. I would also contend that children cannot be summed up by the financial status of their parents.
