[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will make admission really difficult for Asian kids. [/quote]

Serious question: [b]why would you think that? All that is mentioned here is universal screening and the specific test that they'll be taking. 
[/b]
I fail to see how including more kids in the testing process could discriminate against a particular ethnic group. If they're good test takers, they'll still score well in spite of a few hundred additional kids taking the test. And if they do end up not scoring as well as some of the kids who might not have otherwise taken the test, what does that have to do with them being Asian?

If there's a real case for this, please enlighten us, because I fail to see what it could possibly be. I know the cohort thing has thrown a bit of a wrench into the process for middle school, but really, the knee-jerk reaction seems inflammatory and uncalled for here

Unless you're just a troll, in which case it's business as usual, I guess.

[b]DP. She's afraid all that money she spent on 8 years of Dr. Li's afterschool/weekend/summer prep will be wasted if DaShawn and Juan from the wrong side of the tracks will take Vivian's and David's spots at Montgomery Blair math magnet[/b].[/quote]
