[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks poster 12:23. Makes sense[/quote] 12:23 again. Just to clarify, because there seems to be a lot of confusion on this point. The achievement gap MoCo is concerned about is the gap between white/asian and AA/hispanic. They want to close that gap, and a number of recent policy changes seem directed at closing that gap. There may be a different gap between Asians and Whites, but it's silly to think that MoCo's whole strategy revolves around that second gap, out of some assumed vindictiveness towards asians that wrecks the opportunities for kids of all races, including "their" own. FWIW, and because it seems relevant. I'm white, and I disagree with taking away math pathways. My kid did math 2 years ahead in elementary school, and it was great for him. But the other kids with him were white and asian. I say, tackle the problem not by taking away advanced math, but by doing more to get AA and hispanic kids ready for advanced math. [/quote]
