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?

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.

PP here. Actually lol my parents are the cutest and they are pretty darn old. But your ugly racism is starting to show.

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.

Not providing Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese-translated materials to very wealthy neighborhoods in Montgomery County was a "stupid decision"? Lol. No. No one seriously thinks that would be grounds to reverse a decision on Wootton.

So, I just opened up the email from MCPS labeled "Update and More Information on the Boundary Study & Programs Analysis"

It is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Portugese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Amharic.

But how do people know to care if the subject line isn't in their native language?

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).

My 3 Asian kids would beg to differ, but go on.

I do actually feel for the Wootton community. 6 years ago the BOE did the same thing to the Clarksburg community…lifted us out of our neighborhood school and sent us 4 miles away to Seneca Valley. So I’m sympathetic to how they are feeling right now, but I also know it’s going to be ok.

Go read through the survey results. They did state very clearly they didn’t want option H. Clearly the messaging was there…

They are probably talking at the school level but with technology its very easy to translate yourself.

DP.
How many 'Asian brains' do you personally have and why are you speaking for others? If the previous poster might come off as racist, you come off as an insecure striver who happen to believe, for whatever reason, she has a 'brain' that others are jealous off. And I don't know which one is worse.
Ugh.

Yup. Extremely smug here. Asian brains, my goodness.

Seriously? This is your argument? I guess as an Indian I want it in my own regional Indian language next. Half the Indian population in India and the US don't know Hindi.

Teach your parents to use Google translate if they have not assimilated after years of being in the US

Come on. How hard would it be to just send 10 different copies of each email translated into each of the major languages so everyone has an equal opportunity to see it in their native language? Seeing Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, etc., in MCPS emails would scare you that much?

And perhaps families in other parts of the county should be suing over the favoritism towards the Asian families at Wootton, who are being offered a brand new school originally approved with the expectation it would benefit more Black and brown families in the Crown area.

There are no "foreign" languages in USA, moron.

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?

Hey, do you think an ignorant racist moron likes Hispanics?

Crown is walkable from AoPS so I don't know what these Asian families are upset about.

No it would not scare me. I don't want to be spammed with emails from MCPS with every major language in the world.

ASSIMILATE when you move to another country.
And if you cannot, learn to use tools like Google translate to help you understand.

Do you think this kind of stuff will fly in European countries? Or for that matter, in how many languages does Chinese school systems send emails to their students?
