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]

I like to say Asian American, but I notice MCPS constantly labeling my child as just Asian!!!  Did you not see all the reports MCPS disperses.  Despite the fact that my kid is 2nd generation ASIAN-AMERICAN we are still just Asians.  At least they give the "African-American" label.[/quote]

This is absurd. The MCPS reports I've seen just say BL, HS, WH or AS.
