Are you biddies still at it? Jesus, please tell me you're not representative of MoCo parents. If you are, I'm goign to reconsider my upcoming move to Maryland, stay in DC, and pay for private school. A small price to pay to escape the whackos - and I'm talking to all of you. |
It sounds like we'd all be happier if you stayed in DC. |
There are an equal proportion of Asians and whites affected by the policy roughly. If the population denominators stay the same and the gap is widening according to the Post article then they is probably a higher proportion of Asians affected by the MCPS policy. This assumes the numbers provided are somewhat correct |
You are beyond help. |
According to the poster at 16:00, there are 20,949 Asian kids in Moco (she used your own demographic numbers, that Asian students represent 14.3% of Moco's 146,497 students in the system.) Do you know what this means? 113% of Moco's 20,949 Asian students would have to be in advanced math to equal the 23,697 white students in advanced math. That's right, 113% of Asian students. There are more white kids in advanced math in MoCo than there are Asian kids at any level of math in Moco. You tell us: can the achievement gap between asian and white students ever widen so much that 113% of Asian students are in advanced math? |
No we're not all like this! I think she's crazy too! There may be fewer crazies of this flavor the more you head to the east in MoCo. |
Sorry. Unfortunately it took about 5 pages to convince her that her own data totally disproved her conspiracy theory. |
New Poster:
Professor's Chamless findings in Florida are similar to the findings in Montgomery County regarding the widening achievement gap between Asian Americans and all the rest. I dare say this is true for most States in our Union.

An in MCPS the old guard is taking away the choice for our children to advance by eliminating pathways. |
Starr put out 15 Tweets during today's BOE meeting.
He stopped after this Tweet when he repeated what he had said at the meeting: "If you can Google it, do you need to teach it?" I wonder of Mr. Starr is reading Professor Chambliss. |
Er not exactly.... if the argument is that the American school system is what is failing the children of Asian/Eastern European implants will also be brought up in the failed system. Hence the argument in an earlier post that any advantage Asian immigrants have will diminish over time. By the way, homeschooling isn't exactly big in China and India.... |
Is the zip code issue a problem in MCPS? How does eliminating math pathways address this? Or does the elimination of math pathways address the zip code issue and restore social justice? By the way, I agree with those acknowledging a widening achievement gap between Asian Americans and all the rest in the County. It's true in my classroom circuits. |
Dear crazy one: you seem to have forgotten this. So I'll repost.

You can repost until the cows come home. Is this citation here from the school of garbage in and garbage out or Warner's Comic Book Academy? This is utter garbage. One of the posters suggested to simply ask your children in the County. There'll give you a more credible answer. |
