[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not the PP you are referring to.  I do not think that poster was insinuating the Superintendent needed to be African, Indian, Korean or Chinese; rather, the leadership and decision makers in MCPS do not represent the high flying and performing constituents.  Do you think parents and school leaders from these groups would favor holding their children back in subjects like math?  I doubt it?  Who is making the decisions about the MCPS curriculum, math, science, computer science education, English etc.  I doubt these decisions are coming largely from the immigrant populations.  [b]if the MCPS leadership (top down) reflected the MCPS population[/b] we would not be in this mess.[/quote]
