[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS lowest performing students are not predicted by rich or poor kids. It is predicted by race mainly. [/quote]

which is correlated to rich and poor[/quote]

No, it is related to group culture and identity, which is part of the racial identity.

Even a poor and uneducated ORM's kid will do well as it has been proven by the kids of uneducated Chinese restaurant workers in Chinatown in New York who end up in  Stuyvesant magnet school.

Some racial, ethnic, national groups prioritize education.

[b]All racial and ethnic groups prioritize education[/b].  Some people in each group don't or not in the way you believe they should.[/quote]

Yep. And you have in each group who don't.

Believe there are more parents in mcps who prioritize than don't. But for those that don't, is there anything fellow teachers, other parents, commhnity, non profits, older students within same school district could do to get those students to improve their performance? [/quote]

Nope.  MYOB. You cannot parent the children of these losers. [/quote]
