[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]85% doesn't seem to make much sense.  That's just like okay smart.  They should use at least 90%, or maybe something like 90% or above for last two years, plus at least one score about 95%.  And then lottery from there.  That would probably create a pretty good pool of kids.[/quote]

Are you dense? above 95% will lead to same old asian contingent. [b]the purpose is to purge the asians.[/b] [/quote]

They will 100% get their wish.

I went to college with a good number of Asians and have many Asian friends.  I would not encourage them to move to MoCo.  Or really, this area in general.  It is clear that the school system isn’t looking to support and enrich and encourage Asian students to reach their potential.  That would go directly against the goal of closing the Achievement Gap.

[b]I remember, before Covid, there was a big push for the hashtag #blackgirlmagic.  I have had kids in MCPS for 6 years and never once have seen them hashtag #asiangirlmagic.

[/b]There is this strange underlying assumption that if an AA or Latino student achieves something, it is somehow worth more than if an Asian students achieves something.

I think that stems from the hyperfocus on race that comes from the top down.  Highlight kids achievements and quit focusing on skin color.  [/quote]
How many times have you seen #whitegirlmagic?
Honest question.[/quote]
