[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Asian, and I came here for college. DH is Asian American growing up here. I have never gone through MCPS yet, but I am keeping an eye open on this topic for my 2 young kids that are going to next MCPS in 1-2 years. I hear about it, but DH does not mention much because the last time he was in MCPS was back 25 years ago. He did mention there was bullying in school but he was not called out because he was always a big guy(now 6’3”) growing up.

One of my kid is special need with IEP, so[b] she won’t fall into the typical stereotype of well behaved, smart and diligent Asian kid.[/b] Instead, she needs help and support, and hopefully not discriminated or unliked by her awkward social behavior. [/quote]

This is why the "model minority" myth needs to be catapulted into the sun, by the way. All of the folks on this thread making the case that Asian American kids are inherently smarter, or harder working, or more diligent are making life harder for your child when they start school. If we accept that all races/ethnicities have kids with learning differences and behavioral differences, then we can accept that all races/ethnicities have kids who are gifted. It goes hand in hand.
