Not the PP but stats don't lie which means there is no myth.  It is the truth.  You can't teach poor 3rd world immigrants Algebra.  Why?  Because their parents haven't learned past a 3rd grade math themselves, can't speak English.  So that is 100% on the schools to actually teach these kids.  And guess what?  They can't.  Even with all the funding in the world, even with ESOL, even with learning specialists, etc... They gap is not closing.  Why is that?

Poor Asian immigrants take education seriously and will suffer at the bottom to get their kids the highest education.  They teach work ethic and study habits.  The parents learn English quicker, go to the library and immerse themselves in whatever they need to, to help their kids.

Go to a library in MCPS on the weekend.  80% of the families in there are Asian.  They spend hours in there.  My daughter volunteered in one last summer.  They set up shop reading and learning.  They go outside and have a picnic and come back in again.

It has nothing to do with SES and everything to do with priorities.  [/quote]

I’m sorry - was your child on It’s Academic or something? ‘ It’s Academic’ isn't the title of this thread and no one knows you or your 
kid and therefore you can safely conclude that no one meant to hurt your feelings. The butthurt thing can stop now, ok?[/quote]
