Looks like another lawsuit against MCPS is coming...

Some Asians speak and read English. Many do not, especially out parents. Racist much? Or maybe you’re one of those white people who think minorities need your help. We don’t.

You are talking about Asian Americans writ large. Tell us about the Asian Americans who live in-bounds for Wootton. The civil rights compliant isn't about the Hmong in Minneapolis, Koreans in NYC, or Vietnamese in Central California. It's about the scientists and GS-15s who live in Rockville/Potomac.

Again, stop making assumptions.
My parents are restaurant owners and workers. We live in Wootton cluster.
My dad can tell you in English everything on a Chinese restaurant menu.
Ask him to read the boundary study is like asking him to read French.
He has relied on me to translate.
I don’t speak Chinese fluently. I’ve tried my best to translate, but I have the Chinese language of a kindergartner.

You see the problem?

Way to make an assumption about my race. I don’t believe anyone needs my help, but I don’t think claiming they didn’t have enough information in a language they could understand is going to fly when they were the largest group to respond to the survey. And if memory serves me, one could open the survey in their native language.

Well, we know you’re not Asian, and we definitely know you’re racist against Asians. If you weren’t you would be much more sympathetic. But you are and seem to take joy in what’s happening to Wootton. You also probably don’t live in the Wootton cluster, which is another reason you don’t care. This begs the question why you seem so determined to defend MCPS and Option H.

Let me guess. You live in Crown and are hoping that a transplant of Asian kids to Crown will give it an immediate academic ranking, increasing your property value. Alternatively, you live in east MoCo and think it’s unfair that Wootton is so successful academically and you want to spread our Asian brains around so that we can improve the academic rankings of other MoCo schools. So sorry, but we’re not fortune cookies that bring good luck to you (and yes, I know the origin of fortune cookies).

WHO SHOULD ABSOLUTELY KNOW HOW TO SPEAK English! I can’t believe we browbeat the Hispanic community for coming here not knowing English when they are usually FLEEING a horrific situation. These Asians aren’t fleeing anything - they’re chasing wealth that they can only make here in America so there isn’t any urgency for them to get here quickly. For God’s sake, learn English first!!

No sympathy. Lawsuit dismissed!

Thank you. Out of one side of their mouth, “We are the smartest demographic at Wootton and if it wasn’t for us, Wootton wouldn’t have its outstanding reputation!” And then out of the other side of their mouth, “We are too illiterate and dumb to understand the boundary process!”

Pick a position and stick to it

If you knew Wootton, this actually makes sense. Predominately Asian, lots of Asian immigrants.

Having been raised by Asian immigrants, I’m not joking when I say excelling in school wasn’t optional. Tiger parenting is real.

That said, my parents to this day barely speak English but they sure knew the difference between As and Bs on report cards and 1500 vs 1400 on the SAT.

This is all real, but the question is whether it is true of families who attend Wootton in particular. Asian American is a big basket, and in general, Asian immigrants in the DMV tend to be highly skilled professionals who are also fluent in English.

The EML rate at Wootton is so low that it cannot be measured. The same is true for both feeder middle schools. Cold Spring ES is famously the most AAPI elementary school, and ALSO has a EML rate so low that it cannot be measured.

These are not the data points that would suggest a large number of students whose parents cannot interact in English language environments.

Bruh are you ok? EML measures the English proficiency of the child??? Not the parent?

Most Asian kids in the Wootton area speak English natively and fluently.

Their parents, like mine, don’t. They may have working understanding but they certainly aren’t going to understand complex boundaries options.

JFC MCPS makes everything so hard to understand, native speakers had to read and re-read the damn tables and charts to even understand options.

Now add on the fact that H came late and to the surprise of everyone AND over the holidays…without translation.

Taylor had the time to meet with schools like Damascus, but he doesn’t have time for Wootton, when the Wootton community is most impacted by H.

It took a god damn school shooting for him to meet us Wootton parents, at a meeting that btw we as parents couldn’t even ask questions of!

The boundary options are largely communicated through maps and tables. Limited English proficiency doesn't prevent you from reading and understanding those.

This complaint is laughable.

Umm this is you and your parents fault. You can’t want all the benefits of this country but not put in even the tiniest amount of effort to learn how to communicate with the citizens who live here. It’s ungrateful, entitled and rude. And your parents aren’t little old and cute. They are lazy and conniving.

Wow.... tell us how you really feel.
Would you say the same for other groups?
Screw Hispanic people who can only Spanish?

Yup, this whole thread has confirmed what I said. Screaming "liberals" who champion minorities, but only the right kind.
Asians aren't fleeing from anything? Are you an expert on all of Asia?
My parents came here to flee from communism China.
I have a friend who literally came here due to refugee status (Falun Gong, look that up if you don't know).
Another friend came over when she was little from Vietnam because if she stayed, her family would have been killed for helping the Americans during the war.
Another friend is fled due to being targeted as a uyghur.

JFC. I guess the suffering of people only count if they aren't Asian.
F off.

[Anonymous]

I know a family who fled from North Korea.
The grandpa escaped to China, married a Chinese woman.
They eventually made their way to America because they never felt safe in China.
My friend has a Chinese last name because that was the only way to survive in China (had the authorities known her family had North Korean blood, she likely would have been returned to NK and killed).
She is ethnically half North Korean + Chinese.
North Korea is honestly one of the most terrible regime in the world.
But... yea Asians don't flee from anything. Only Hispanics?

Are you the same PP who said only black kids can pursue civil rights violations?

So, Asians aren't fleeing from anything.
Asians never get mistreated.
Asians never have civil rights concerns.

People on this thread sure love to scream how Wootton is racist, but look in the mirror.

[Anonymous]

I don’t know why you are feeding this troll. It has no bearing on the complaint and seems to enjoy cosplaying and/or larping as a racist.

Ignore the fool.

Our complaint is just one of MANY that is being made. The BOE will need to decide whether it feels like getting reversed (again) for yet another stupid decision.

O now I see we're making fun of Asian accents. So funny... Asian people can't say R and Ls right. You are clearly an idiot.
You are probably one of those people who call Woottoners racist but are actually racist yourself.
Why is it that you hate Asians so much?

Hey friend, do you say the same for Hispanics? Did you tell them to learn English when MCPS provided Spanish translation? Did you call them lazy and conniving too? Are they also ungrateful, entitled and rude?
