These parents are, I suspect dem voting progressives. Many are Oriental, They now have been treated like Whitey as their children’s competence makes them part of the enemy to be crushed for ‘equity’. How does it feel to be Whitey folks?

It appears that the school district doesn’t understand the true definition of equity. Equal outcomes is not equity. Real equity is based on performance.

He got an score and graphs on where he placed percentile wise and a commended student letter, all internet.(no award)(I got a “runner up”
finalist certificate way back when which is the same as what they call “commended student” today...again an honorable mention but no eligibility for awards. Still colleges would take it into account.

If your son had very high percentile rankings(compared with others) he should have gotten some notice of award if he ranked in with the top 50000 students. Otherwise he should have at least gotten a “atta boy” condolence letter or email.

If your son went to a public school, you could try and ask someone there if the school got some mention of your son from National Merit if when he did his test, he put in his public school in the application.

“pressed send on a mea culpa” — What are they trying to say?

They hit the “send” button.

No laugh: A(n assitant) principal from FCPS got a doctoral degree from the University of Pittsburgh for basically saying, based on interviews with seven White and Asian teachers, that White and Asian teachers don’t know how incompetent they are when dealing with black students. Besides being obviously edited to the point of ghost writing for her, she couldn’t figure out why everyone at the school had sweatshirts labelled “Up it.” They were labeledd, “UPitt.”

-"I have 4 kids this age and 3 of them have taken the PSAT in the last year or two. Their school had nothing to do with the process. You take the test at a testing site of your choice (they choose a local college) and are notified of your results directly, along with what this years cut off is for (commended, semi-finalist, and finalist)."-

Thank you for sharing that information.

This story started with a NY Post article, written by the same person who wrote this article. It was written in a strange way, as if the writer wasn't telling the whole story.

Other news sites picked up on that first article and started confusing the story further. Some news reports are even claiming the principal didn't tell students they were National Merit Scholars. (lol)

All of these principals need to be sued for withholding information from students that they needed in college applications. They caused deliberate financial harm to these students and their parents. Heck, they should be arrested for failure to disclose information that they knew or should have known would cause harm to those families.

Home sellers can be sued for failing to disclose information regarding deficiencies in the home they are selling. Companies can be sued for failing to disclose to their stockholders information that is detrimental to their company’s future financial stability. How is this any different?
