[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS IMO is on the right track by rethinking how merit is gauged. It should ultimately strengthen the program by identifying better candidates, not just alumni of Dr. Li's prep academy.[/quote]

Actually, 2.0 did more harm to URM students. They are worse off in their understanding and knowledge of content. But when you are riding the gravy train of affirmative action, and when MCPS itself has become less than mediocre then optics matter more than reality.

Let MCPS make public the test scores of every student who took the test, and let them show that they took the top students.  MCPS cannot identify better candidates by playing the race card.  Being Dr. Li's alumni is not a bad thing. What is bad is students who do not work hard at school, who are aspiring to have careers in being the dregs of the society. I hope parents and students choose academics over other things. [/quote]
This is an incredibly ignorant statement. There are multiple criteria involved in this process. It's not simply a matter of one test score. Before spewing garbage it would help if you learned at least a little about the subject.[/quote]

Just stop. We have all read/heard the same set of facts. You may not agree with me but it doesn't make me less informed. [/quote]
