[quote=Anonymous]I mean, the scores of Asian American kids attending Kennedy stink, but they aren't surprising because Asian Americans are not inherently smarter or "more concerned about education" than anyone else, no matter what folks on the middle school magnet thread will tell you. Because the student population at Kennedy is largely poor, the students have all of the same structural and institutional barriers faced by any other high needs student population. It isn't surprising that white and Asian American kids in Potomac have high scores, and white and Asian American kids at Kennedy have lower scores - the only thing shared by those communities is a vague racial label. Everything else, including almost certainly parental education level and almost certainly ethnicity is different. [/quote]
