[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the school disctrict is 65% asian, couldn't the asian parents just run for the school board and get a majority of seats on it? [/quote]

Town is still majority but what exactly is the platform, don't take any steps to lessen the pressure on our kids even if they express suicidal thoughts in class work?   [/quote]

Majority white.[/quote]

The school system could just get help for the kid who expressed suicidal thoughts rather than discontinuing a program that many of the kids who aren't suffering from anxiety, depression, etc. still want to participate in.[/quote]

What on earth are you talking about? They haven't discontinued anything other than giving school credit for summer classes.[/quote]
They discontinued accelerated math for 4th and 5th graders. It was 90% Asian. [/quote]

They moved the start of the program from 4th to 6th grade.  The same thing happened in Baltimore county, apparently there is some research that middle school is the proper time to start putting some students a year or more ahead.  Pretty sure most kids in accelerated math in Baltimore County are white.
