[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate how specific the racial demographics will be in the results. I’ve long said that the experience of African American students is vastly different than a Nigerian or Ethiopian student. However, MCPS assumes everyone interprets their labels the same way. I think it would be helpful for MCPS to also aggregate the data based on a family’s immigration status and experience. [/quote]

Are you a member of either of the groups you are opining about? [/quote]

DP: An immigrant experience is different from a native ADOS experience.  Being from a relatively privileged family in one’s home country, leaving that country and culture, and seeking opportunities is different from a history that includes segregation and a minority experience. That’s just for starters.

And, yes, I’m a member of one of the groups that I’m opining about. I also have experience working in school settings, in multi-cultural settings, and doing social science research. [/quote]
Are you concerned about the attacks on students and teachers getting ignored?[/quote]
