[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]As an Asian, I'm disturbed by this troll with the Asian fixation. [/b]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]

Give us a break. This East Asian immigrant who's lived on the Hill since the 90s doesn't mind shopping for Asian groceries in MoCo on weekends, when I take my kids to a heritage language program. Most of our East Asian immigrant and ABC pals in Ward 6 have left over the years, mainly in search of better public schools. Most of them left between 3rd and 6th grades although they were OK with Brent, Maury, SWS, YY etc. We're Christian and went parochial for middle school, after striking out for the Latins and BASIS. They aren't Christian and didn't. [/quote]

Why wouldn't you just live in MoCo?[/quote]

Why wouldn't you? Like many other locals, our jobs, good friends, place of worship, community, activities, hard-won and self-renovated real estate is all on the Hill.  We can comfortably afford parochial schools after ES. No interest in moving although we wish that more Asians around with teens stuck around. [/quote]
