[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I mean seriously?? A whole new curriculum so that there is no longer a small gap between Asians and everyone else? I might buy it if you had stated the real gap between blacks/hispanics and whites/Asians. I don't believe that is MCPS's motivation either, but at least it makes for a more coherent argument. I just don't think a county takes on a whole new curriculum to disadvantage some of its students. I hear the argument from parents of gifted kids and I understand it - I hope that the county will take some action to address this particular concern.[/quote]

Given the amount of venom hurled at Tiger Moms and Tiger Cubs (reams of pages upon pages) I would take the poster's contention quite seriously.  Given the venom/envy/jealousy/abhorence (simply read the whole dcum board) how would anyone be surprised MCPS wouldn't take such action to close the gap?  Is MCPS any different from those here on dcum?  I doubt it.[/quote]

I truly believe DCUM is unique unto itself and not representative of the world at large.[/quote]

Hear hear :).

As for closing the gap, in what world would that work? Immigrant parents from Asia and Europe in this area are, almost by definition, highly educated, driven to succeed, and working in STEM fields. They will always supplement math instruction at home. They will not be the ones whose scores will slip as a result of stupid reforms.[/quote]
