[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the complaints among the Asian American parents are first world problems. When half the kids in your district aren’t fed, aren’t meeting grade level standards, and are adversely impacted by covid, poverty, and unemployment, it’s hard to care about who gets into magnet programs.[/quote]

What are you rambling about?  Asians can be low income.  The county is doing a huge amount with food assistance as are many private organizations and individual schools.  These issues were also pre-covid and funny thing, people like you didn't care or did MCPS.  [/quote]

Actually, MCPS has focused significantly on these issues before covid. And while there are some low-income Asians, no, it’s only a tiny percentage, compared with the more than half the county’s African American and Hispanic students who are low-income. [/quote]

+1 Asian Americans can absolutely be low income, and have the same access to support for low-income students as anyone else (including any "boost" to applications for criteria-based programs). However, in general in the DMV, Asian Americans tend not to be low-income. This is different than New York or Minneapolis or Sacramento, where immigration patterns have created clusters of low-income Asian American communities. [/quote]

Good post. [/quote]
