[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS successfully reduced the Asian students in its MS magnet with their invention of bogus ‘cohort’ elimination. As a result, more white students benefitted from the reform. [/quote] I think the reduction in Asian students is solely due to the fact that there is a large Asian community clustered in one particular ES/MS. They got caught by the new home school peer group policy. When we attended the TP orientation 3 years ago, the magnet coordinator mentioned that 2 buses were required to pick up all the kids who get on at Cold Spring elementary (granted this would include both MS and HS magnet kid). Self segregation by these Asian families is what impacted their kids odds at the MS magnet program.[/quote] What's wrong with living near their Korean or Chinese church community? Same way all the Central Americans live in group houses in Silver Spring and Wheaton by CASA and their Hispanic communities. Why can't the county challenge ALL OF ITS top and middle performers well?[/quote]
