So Littlest Guy is going to take a class with the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth this summer. They just sent us a list of the other kids in his session, to facilitate carpooling. It’s fascinating reading.<\/p>\n
The kids are from Hsin Chu, Taiwan and Wichita Falls, Kansas and Bell Gardens (a relatively poor – median income $36K to Los Angeles County’s $51K – 90% Hispanic community here is Los Angeles).<\/p>\n
The names are a true rainbow – Patel, Hsu, Flores, Apolaya, Ivanova, Mecom, Klein, Kawananakoa, Yu, Suh, Chipman.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, most of the kids (44%) have Asian surnames. But equally unsurprisingly, in the face of the wide perception that the schools serving Latino neighborhoods here in Los Angeles are substandard, 18% of the kids have Hispanic surnames.<\/p>\n
I think LG is going to have to work his a** off to keep up. I kind of like that idea…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
