They aren’t selecting for race. It’s a race blind process. |
+1 Never heard that there is any movement againts math or anything academic. People can accelerate their kids all they want. No law ever created that can’t stop them to enrich their kids academically. If there is no acceleration available that is not because of a political movement, it is simply because there is no resource available. The public education service tend to prioritize the needs of the middle bell curve, the 95% population. The truth is, nobody care about your feelings about math, whether you glorify it or despise it. If you heard one, it is called personal opinion. But I feel like there is a movement to create an impression that Asian is under attack, this is actually the propaganda to swing the vote and somehow it works. And I am an Asian. |
The average iq score by race is not too different. It only changes by a couple of points, which if actually true essentially means nothing. In fcps at least until a few years ago, Asians that were accepted into AAP level iv, had a few points lower scores in nnat and CogAT than other races. |
Your ignorance is embarrassing. https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/california-adopts-controversial-new-math-framework-heres-whats-in-it/2023/07 |
This old random opinionated article talking about California doesn't mean anything, I assume you live in Fairfax VA and really nobody, I mean really ... nobody stop your kid (if you actually have kid) to take Calculus in 7 grade, only you just need to do your own effort to make it happen, because 99.999% population don't need that. |
Self righteous much? You are Asian and that makes you an authority on the topic? |
The selection process was created with racial results at the top of mind. |
The attack isn't against Asians it's against what we represent. The traditional right wing racists don't like how Asians show up and grab all the lions share of academic recognition that used to go to more mediocre white kids. They feel like their communities are being gentrified as Asians move in and big up housing prices while the kids crowd out white kids from the AAP program. The DEI left wing racist don't like how people use Asian success to imply that URM are lazy or inferior (the model minority my) and they begrudge us or success by taking the things we earn and giving it to those they think deserve a break. Then they call us racists for not going along with it. They would both like us a lot more if we didn't succeed. |
Your being asian is about as relevant to this issue as Marjorie Taylor Greene being a woman is relevant to the abortion debate. |
Do you have a cite for that? |
I don’t right now. I have posted that information on this board a few years ago. It is from Fairfax association of the gifted. I wanted to post with it, but couldn’t relocate it today. I |
Please don’t hijack the thread with how Asians are victimized. This thread is supposed to be about advancing in Math, not about what Asians represent. Open your own thread for that. |
That’s not what was shown in the 2020 AAP equity report. For kids found eligible to AAP, the average scores by race are (white/black/hispanic/asian): NNAT - 118/111/113/129 CogAT V- 122/114/114/121 CogAT Q- 128/120/119/131 CogAT NV-124/116/118/127 https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/BPLQKV69B096/$file/FCPS%20final%20report%2005.05.20.pdf |
Yes, but please note that that statistic is for eligible pupils, not for pupils that were selected. Not sure how it was in 2020, but a few years before that if you nominated your own child they’d be eligible. |
Eligible students are the students that were selected for level IV AAP. Eligible = selected. https://www.fcps.edu/academics/elementary/advanced-academic-programs/full-time-advanced-academic-program |
