No, if you're going to compare the performance of middle-class students in China and India and Eastern Europe to students in the US, then you'll have to compare it to middle-class students in the US (or middle-class students in MCPS) -- not all students.[/quote]

Ummm...sure.  [b]Are we allowed to remove from the mix of US students those whose parents are immigrants from the countries we are comparing them to?[/b] How about removing the East Europeans and Asian lineage kids - who are supplementing here too?[/quote]

No, of course not. They are not going to school in their countries of family origin. They are going to school in the US.[/quote]

...but families are supplementing here because they find MCPS lacking.  So, there is a parallel system of education here where East Europeans, Chinese and Indian kids supplement at home and MCPS actually pretends that they are the reason these kids do well.

Unless, you believe that these kids are truly gifted as a race and have superior brain-power to all the other kids in the US? [/quote]

What, exactly, are we arguing about?

My questions were:

1. Which Asian countries are outperforming the US?
2. What measures are you using to determine this?

I don't think anybody has answered these questions yet.[/quote]
