[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I guess this is proof that the lottery system worked. TPMS still did well and Potomac kids were not harmed by staying at their home school. Nice.[/quote]

Absolutely not. Look at the names, 2/3 of them are still Asian. That means actually NOTHING CHANGED![/quote]

Is this sarcasm or trolling?[/quote]

This is true. among the top 48 list who moved to the State level, more than 30 (I forgot the exact number) of them have a Chinese, Indian or Korean names. Asian also take 7 seats out of top 10.

some more data about tp: 
top 25, only 4 of them from TP. 
top5, zero.

Just FYI. [/quote]

But how is the Asian percentage of mathcounts an indicator of the success, or lack thereof, of the TPMS lottery? Is PP trying to suggest that the lottery only works if the list is now full of URMs?

With some noise, mathcounts top 48 list the set of the best mathletes in the county. The lottery only changes the name of the school that these mathletes list on their registration.[/quote]

Mathcounts results simply indicate that lotteries may not foster mathematical excellence. Rather than continuously debating individual outcomes, I think the first step should be establishing  :evil: subjective criteria to evaluate the overall success or failure of the lottery system. Without such  :evil: subjective criteria, all the debates are off-target. [/quote]

I mean, Objective... :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted: what a mistake :oops: [/quote]
