What's the problem if they're mostly Asian?

AOPS is prep?
You must not have any experience. AOPS is just good teaching. They do have a contest math section and post questions online so kids can practice. My kids have never taken an actual class, in person or virtual.

They just go through the books and if they were into it, they would do the online math problems on Alcumus. Why wouldn't a kid prepare? It's not an IQ test.[/quote]

Absolutely no problem at all, except when people say that MCPS is biased against Asian students. Clearly it’s not. They dominate in competitive STEM fields in MCPS. [/quote]

Clearly MCPS is not biased against Black and Brown students.  At my kid’s nonW school, they dominate the Honors and AP classes.  They also dominate at soccer and basketball.

(PP, you are ridiculous.  Nobody is keeping non-Asian kids off the Math team because of race.  It’s based on skill.)

if by skill you mean prep then sure[/quote]

How do you get where you are now by just sitting there?

When an Asian kid doing well in math, they are accused of prepping.  
No wonder MCPS give students 50% score for doing nothing.
You and your anti Asian attitude fail to encourage students of all races to be the best and to reach their potential.[/quote]

I get you to want to define merit as spending the most on prep because that's a variable you can control, but prep doesn't equate to aptitude.[/quote]

Cool.  Same with soccer.  Those Latino kids playing travel soccer year-round, spending thousands of dollars on coaches and tournament fees.

I get that you want to define athletic ability as spending the most on soccer.

PP, it sounds like you dislike Asian kids who do Math outside of school.  What is your issue with that?  Do you have the same disdain for Latino kids who play soccer on teams that are not run through MCPS?  Or is it just your overall bias against Asian kids what causes you to be so… weird?[/quote]
