I am confused by this whole thread. I thought the high performing kids were white and Asian and most of the Asians are not recent immigrants. The recent immigrants are the hispanic families who are typically not performing in the top group and are likely to benefit from a focus on the bottom 90% of the kids. Granted my kids are in MCPS HS so are not affected by the new math curriculum but this tirade against some perceived "old guard" (not clear exactly who that is or how many of them there are) seems misplaced.

Are you still confused???

Why is there a growing academic performance and achievement gap between Asian Americans and everyone else in Montgomery County and MCPS? Is elimination of the math pathways a short-sighted and desparate attempt by MCPS to attempt to close the gap?

Taking the best from both sides of the issue in this thread here's the conclusion so we can move on...

1. Asians are outpacing everyone else academically across the country.

2. Policies recently implemented in Montgomery county would hurt higher numbers of "American" kids, but higher percentages of Asians.

Thank you and lets put this one in the archives...

....Who are the beneficiaries of all the accommodations from the College Board over the last 20 years? Who are the beneficiaries of all the granted accommodations in MCPS to students and families for testing and homework over the last 20 years? I assure you it is not Hispanics, Blacks, Other and Asians in MCPS and our County.

This thread needs to end. It is ridiculous. Who cares if Asians are scoring higher? I am frankly only worried about my own kid and her educational opportunities. If she works to the best of her ability - I don't really care what the stats say.

Why? On what authority? You are really full of yourself. This is the fundamental problem here.

Who are you referring to? Not me. The rest of us are firing you as a Board referee. Now, go ahead. Move along and don't return. You have better things to do.
