[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Are you Asian? You have no clue. Seriously. If you heard how some teachers disparage Asian students and parents in MCPS, you would feel differently. [/quote] "Are there teachers (and others) in MCPS who believe, say, and do bigoted things about Asian-Americans?" (Yes) and "Do MCPS policies and practices discriminate against Asian-Americans?" (No) are related but different questions.[/quote] +1 OP is alleging systemic bias (policies and practices, particularly in magnet admissions). Those do not exist, or at least there's no proof that they exist. If MCPS is lying about the process being race-blind, then we can talk about systemic bias. Other posters are talking about individual bias among kids, parents, and teachers when it comes to Asian American students. This is obviously a problem, but individual and systemic bias are different problems and require different interventions. [/quote]
