[quote=Anonymous][quote]"some truths and issues can be painful to acknowledge"

Its painful to acknowledge that Asians are succeeding? No that is not painful.

It pains me that someone keeps pointing out the gap between Asians and whites, when blacks and hispanics are lagging MUCH further behind than both. I think its very sad that these groups seem to be mainly overlooked. I hope the new MCPS policy really will help ALL children succeed. I am going to wait to see how it goes before jumping to conclusions.[/quote]

That's certainly one way to look at it.  I'm sure another take is some whites are pained by the success of Asians.  What appears certain from this discussion is there is a widening achievement gap between Asian American and everyone else.  We should be delighted that Asian Americans are doing so well and try to raise the achievement of everyone  (including Asians) to a high bar.  How does removing the math pathways for any children achieve this goal?  It doesn't.  Unfortunately, I think waiting will be too late if you have children MCPS.  If you don't I guess you can wait with low risk.[/quote]
