[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Are you saying that the ultimate goal of the superintendent of the Montgomery County Public School system is to bring down the performance of the 14% of MCPS students who are Asian Americans, specifically, and all MCPS students in general?

Or are you saying that the ultimate goal of the superintendent of Montgomery County Public School system is to bring down the performance of the 14% of MCPS students who are Asian Americans, which will bring down the performance of all MCPS students in general?

Either way: documentation please.[/quote]

Good gosh.  I am not saying that, you are.

Open your eyes, what are the proportional percentages enrolled in the County magnet programs, highly gifted centers, and TJ?  Do you think these students get into these programs largely because of who they know, legacy, and money?

Use your little noggin instead of your large heart.[/quote]

Nope. You (or another PP) said, "One thing is certain, this approach will close/shrink the performance gap between the highest performers in the County -- Asian Americans and the lowest performers Blacks and Hispanics. Starr will achieve his ultimate goal of shrinking the performance gap while ensuring the aggregate County student performance will continue to decline when bench marked against outside exams."

If you did not mean that Starr's ultimate goal is to shrink the achievement gap by lowering the performance of Asian-Americans, what did you mean?[/quote]
