[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will make admission really difficult for Asian kids. [/quote]

Why?

They have their superior intelligence; a culture of hard work, love of learning and being law abiding; their involved and educated parents;; their prioritization of education and achievement; their intact and functional families;  their community support structure and majority of them are not FARMS or ESOL

Are they going to be targeted because they are actually good, able, functional, meritorious, deserving and intelligent?

Here's a book to read: The Color of Success: Asian-Americans and the Origins of the Model Minority, by Ellen D. Wu, Princeton University Press, 2013.

And yet...the successes keep on coming!!!  And the achievement gap has now become an achievement chasm that cannot be bridged by performance and merit.   As irreversible as the climate change.

Each year, Asian-American students are performing at higher levels and increasing the ceiling so much that they are not just heads and shoulders above, rather they are like the emergent of the rainforest! MCPS is trying to make the forest floor reach the same height as the emergents.  Maybe try and help the understory and canopy from being burnt to the ground first?
