[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to acknowledge stereotype threat and that standardized tests are culturally biased. Additionally, public school needs are seen as “products” that need to “deliver results.”[/quote]

Are they biased against first generation Asian immigrants for whom English is a second language and are adapting to a new culture?

No they are not.

The cultural bias assertion is easy to take down.[/quote]
