[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shocking to see only 53% Asian students are exceeding benchmark. What about the other half? In past years, Asian students exceeded benchmark by almost 60%, and around 20% were on grade level. Rest 20% were behind. [/quote] I’ve taught in MCPS for 20 years. The first decade, all of my East Asian students were from two parent, middle to high income households. Occasionally, I had a lower income Southeast Asian or South Asian student. At the start of the second decade, I saw a demographic shift begin with more lower income Asian students. In the past five years, maybe 20% of my Asian students are from households where there is significant financial strain and only one parent. Sometimes the other parent lives and works abroad. Other times, there was a divorce. These students are not performing as well as others because the resources are not there for extra classes or intensive parenting.[/quote]
