[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]Ooops, messed up[/b] on the formating. To be completely clear.

So, this means that for every 100 kids, 33.7 kids are white and 14.3 kids are Asian. Using the WP's stat's, 48% of the 33.7 white kids tested at advanced levels, which means that 16.2 white kids (= 48% times 33.7 white kids) tested at advanced levels. For Asians, 58% of the 14.3 asian kids tested at advanced levels, in other words, 8.29 asian kids (= 58% times 14.3 asian kids) tested at advanced levels.

In plain english: for every 100 kids in MoCo, 16.2 white kids and 8.29 asian kids will be hurt by the elimination of math pathways. Again, more white kids than asian kids.

So you are wrong, wrong, wrong. . Please go away now. [/quote]

Correct you messed up all right.

The poster was not referring to [b]absolute numbers [/b]but proportional numbers based on a widening gap from data many years several years old.  Today, if we had the real numbers I totally agree with the previous assertion.
