[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If all of the admitted students are the top students (based on exam scores, grades, extra-curricular activities, references, etc...) and they all happen to be Asian; so be it. As long as the admission process is fair and the best qualified students are admitted, why are people so bothered that the majority, not all but the majority, of the students admitted to TJ are Asian? You never hear people complaining that the majority of a football or basketball team is white and/or black. Students and/or professionals try out for a team and the best qualified players are selected based on skills, size, natural ability or whatever. Why is the attitude different when dealing with selection for the best qualified academic students?[/quote]

[quote]Now, this is why the MCPS leadership made the radical decision in the County to prevent and stop capable students from advancing in Math (starting in the early Grades) when they rolled out curriculum 2.0. As the smoke is settling it is becoming increasing clear the prime motivation is to slow certain students down to close the widening gap.[/quote]

Of course it is designed to slow down the children of the wealthy who come well prepared.  Then Starr can claim he created a curriculum that closed the gap, the unions can claim their teachers closed the gap, unions can demand another 7% wage increase and Starr will get a salary increase.
