1ºLevels of organizations do use demographics in this manner but only within the confines of their meeting level like teachers meetings, etc. You dont overshare such to the minor child nor single out by name. No mention of any documentation or supporting fact to even back the allegation of the poor performances as this could also indicate poor performance of the staff. The action lacked class and those involved are clearly out of touch. Those principles/teachers can start back in another school as I think he was fired for using an all-in-one presentation but I hope children that needed to truely be held back aren't advanced to a situation they'll be in over their heads.
2ºMike Lewsader you need this since your just a headline reader.
Fact-checking:
the act of verifying information in non-fictional text in order to determine its veracity and correctness. Fact-checking can be conducted before (ante hoc) or after (post hoc) the text has been published or otherwise disseminated. Internal fact-checking may be done in-house by the publisher or it can be analyzed by a third party via external fact-checking.
Ante hoc fact-checking (fact-checking before dissemination) aims to remove errors and allow text to proceed to dissemination (or to rejection if it fails confirmations or other criteria).
Post hoc fact-checking is most often followed by a written report of inaccuracies, sometimes with a visual metric from the checking organization (e.g., Pinocchios from The Washington Post Fact Checker, or TRUTH-O-METER ratings from PolitiFact). Several organizations are devoted to post hoc fact-checking, such as FactCheck.org and PolitiFact in the US, and Full Fact in the UK.
3ºYou asked a question. I answered it with "we don't know" because your question implied that those singled out were the ones underperforming. I responded with "we don't know" because no information was provided as to whether any of those in the group were "underperforming." The information that WAS provided was that ONLY the black kids were required to attend and that the School/principal singled out the GROUP based on race, not on "performance or lack thereof." There was no "conjecture"...that was the information provided by both the school and the news media. "Conjecture: an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information" My "opinion" that the school/principal was "wrong" was based on the sole FACT that was disclosed i.e. that the school/principal singled out ONLY the black students.
