[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole discussion does point out how awful our schools are. Not awful as in "failing to educate" perhaps, but definitely awful as "only the top high school is considered competitive internationally".

I grew up in Western Europe and benefited from a free and excellent education. It is a strange realization that this is not an option for most Americans. [/quote]
In Western Europe do they offer prep courses for every single standardized test? These courses have aided in broadening the preexisting chasm amongst students. It may be legal, but it isn’t fair. Ruthless helicopter parents and obsessive prepping don’t always yield successful gifted students.[/quote]

We have lot of tests in this country and enormous unfairness including singling out this particular TJ test out of dozens of tests and singling out Asians to discriminate. [/quote]
It has nothing to do with Asians, but everything to do with people of all races working the system to one’s advantage. If we are to truly weed out the unqualified students, and discover raw talent/genius, we need to completely level the playing field. Anything else is skewed.[/quote]

Ok then. Let’s institute a lottery system for all similar situations but you will only want to agree with a policy that discriminate against Asians. [/quote]
No, let’s create and implement exams that can only be prepped for by studying on one’s own. No extra help, no prep courses. If these are gifted children, this shouldn’t be an issue.[/quote]

But that is not what fcps is doing. They are ramming through the new proposal acting like Trump. My way or the highway. No difference. [/quote]

If asians would think strategically they would be trump supporters[/quote]

A Lot of them will be voting that way come November, which is very unfortunately as they are caught b/t a rock (Trump's anti-China and anti-immigrant) rhetoric and and a hard place (Democrat's sacrificing and marginalizing the Asians for the sake of leveling the playing field).   Weighing the two options, they will opt to go Red as US is their home base not China.  This is where they pledge their allegiance and fight for their right.[/quote]

Lol, ok[/quote]
