[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/quote]totally agree with you. But I need to point out: 
1. The poster is Asian herself, not anti-Asian. You have to follow through to her links and read through tons of irrelevant stuff, but if you separate the wheat from all the chaff, her emphasis is in Asian performance. 
2. I wonder if this is the poster who is big on prepping for tests instead of doing sports. Same writing style. 
3. I think she may be upset about Asian admissions to the MoCo magnets. She's also posted on the DCUM College Forum about Asian admittance rates to Harvard. Here, I even have a little sympathy, because I think it may be true that Asian kids need higher scores for places like Harvard, although I have no stake on this issue myself. For MoCo magnets, though, I don't believe there's any data on admissions by race, so any argument here is pure speculation. However, I can say unscientifically that there are "lots" of Asians at the Takoma and Blair magnets, probably more than their representation by race in MoCo, and at the Takoma promotion last night there were many, many Asians, including the SGA president and VP.

But if her issue is Asian admission rates to MoCo magnets, she needs to say that. And try to provide data, although I'm not sure it exists. She's only making herself look unhinged with this ridiculous theory that ending math acceleration is because the "old guard" whites are trying to hold back Asians. Not to mention all the sock puppetting. There are [b]two excellent refutations[/b]  to her crazy theory about the end of math acceleration: (a) the part your post I bolded, and (b) MoCo is all about teaching to the middle so they can do well on national testing.[quote]

Ahem. I went to a top-3 graduate business school. Where did someone who can't understand simple logic go to school?

Alas, the "Tea"-boned bimbo with a graduate degree in public policy has crawled back out of her hole, tail shimmering between her last quivering legs.  If you have a question or point in your customary mangled post?  What is it?[/quote]

So, so wrong. Liberal democrat and top 3 Ivy for graduate school, thank you very much. I just happen to think you're a horrible writer and absolutely nuts.[/quote]
