[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just a direct attack on academically successful Asian kids. However, won't hurt people with money who can send their kids to private.[/quote] This. It impacts families with immigrant parents who didn't have the opportunity for education in their home country. It hurts kids who have families that put an emphasis on education and came to the US to seek that out. Families with money have choices. These families don't. It's upsetting. [/quote] You might be interested to know that the program under discussion relies on a test administered at 4 years old, and disproportionately attracks UMC white families. This is not the competitive test-in high schools - it's an elementary school program. [/quote]
