Wow...these numbers are shocking to me.  No wonder Asians are pissed.  If you look at the report card grades, [b]Asians carry the weight of pushing the scores upward in practically every school in mcps[/b].  You look at these report and see the drastic dropoff of Asians accepted, versus whites versus other races.  [/quote]

Really, Asians? There are that many students in MCPS schools who are immigrants from Asia?

Or are you talking about American kids?[/quote]

They are all American kids.  They should all be labeled American kids.

But MCPS has decided to divide up the groups by race and has put an enormous amount of time and energy in focusing on the Achievement Gap.  Take it up with MCPS.  Personally, I’d prefer they’d quit their obsession with race.[/quote]

No, this wasn't an MCPS decision, it's a result of No Child Left Behind.  Schools are no longer allowed to report overall averages and say good enough, they need to demonstrate that each subgroup is also performing.  This is not new, it's been in effect the entire time current MCPS students have been in school.[/quote]
