Page 8 - Section B Thursday, September 13, 2018 The Gazette-Democrat Opinion and Please read this... By Geof Skinner Commentary World issues and their impact here at home By John Reppert There is an interesting trend going on, primarily on the West Coast, that has interesting implications for education. The trend seems to be to allow factors other than grades to influence which students get academic honors and even scholarships. The basis for this seems to be that the academics in- volved argue that not all students are equally qualified to compete. Therefore, in some schools with, for instance, a significant Latino population, they have determined that because of their environment at home (for example, the A killdeer appeared to be taking a bow while maintaining its balance on a railroad track one morning in parents may not be fully fluent in English, then a Latino Cobden. student with an 89 grade point average should be awarded academic honors or even a college scholarship ahead of a native American with well educated parents from the A frog in the window, a balancing bird... United States). Words are pretty much escaping me this week. On the one hand, there is a logic to this. They would Such things happen. That’s why you get to see so argue that the Latino started with an educational handicap many pictures. For whatever it’s worth, the images and that for him or her an 89 grade point averages shows were captured during the past couple of weeks, while more accomplishment than a native born student with a yours truly was wandering from here to there, and 91 grade point average. back again. At this point, however, the argument becomes very contentious. In part, the extra points for the disadvantaged student are based on the parents’ education. If a native born student with parents who went only to grade 12 scores a 90 and a native born student with parents who are both college graduates scores a 93, should the child of parents with only 12 years of education receive the award over the child of the parents who finished col- lege? Should the difference in the education of these two sets of parents be 2 points, or 4 points? As you can see, the application of this principle can be quite contentious. Because of the extreme ethnic diversity in California, for example, (white Caucasian, blacks, Latinos and orien- tals) some schools have decided that each group will get a proportional number of students awarded honors and in some cases school sponsored scholarships. How much was this froggy in the window?

The dragonfly would leave for a moment and graphical regions, means it is worthy of consideration then come right back. everywhere. My memory of attending school in Anna was that we took tests, the teachers marked the correct and incorrect answers and we got our grades. Are there other ways to ad- dress the clear discrepancies which have always existed? I understand that some schools offer additional classes for those who are identified in the early years as “educa- tionally disadvantaged.” In others, tutors are assigned to help lower scoring students close the gap. Each of these has advantages and challenges. How do you factor in the indisputable fact that each of us is born with different capabilities in both the physical and mental realms? I was in high school at a height of 5’10”. For some reason the basketball coach gave preference to those taller than 6 feet.
