[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until at least a few Asians with Asian parents start enrolling at SH, EH and JA we’re not touching them either. -POC Mom on the Hill. PS. You stop.[/quote]

I fully understand why as an Asian parent you might not want your kid to be an “only.” But the “Asian presence” metric is otherwise a bit odd … [/quote] 
Asians are just odd, right? There’s a reason that Fairfax is trying to beat back Asian erollment. Oddly enough. [/quote]

I mean yes, it’s odd to use Asian enrollment as the argument for why you shouldn’t enroll your kid in W6 schools, unless perhaps you are an Asian parent who doesn’t want your kid to be an extreme minority. Are you trying to say W6 schools discriminate against Asians? Concerning if true. [/quote]

As an Asian, I'm disturbed by this troll with the Asian fixation. Asians don't live on the Hill for a number of reasons, not the least of which is lack of good Asian grocery stores in the immediate vicinity.[/quote]

I'm south Asian and the indicator of "are there enough Asians at this school?" Is pretty funny. It's kind of true, though. Certainly first gen Asian immigrants are very serious about education. I'm second Gen with a white husband, so our standards are slipping, I guess  We were happy with a "good enough" DCPS Title 1 elementary (though I suppose I probably supplement a TON at home) but I want them to be in an extremely good high school, so we need a middle school that allows them to be prepared for that.[/quote]
