You’re taking about equality. Equity is always just a euphemism for equality of outcome. Which can only ever be achieved by lowering the outcomes of top performs to the same level as the lowest performers.
- walnutclosefarm 4y agoI know. But I refuse give up the meaning of the word "equity" - which is not equality of outcomes, but rather fair, impartial. In the case of schools, that means fairly and impartially meeting the needs of every student. You can call med old fashioned, if you wish (I'm certainly old).
