The superintendent of the San Dieguito Unified High School District is facing backlash after comments she made seemed to say that Asian students in her district do well because of their financial upbringings.
ENCINITAS – San Dieguito Unified High School District Superintendent Dr. Cheryl James-Ward faced backlash Wednesday night after comments she made seemed to equate the success of Asian students in her school district with their financial upbringings.
Dr. James-Ward’s comment which started this uproar was an answer she gave to a trustee member who questioned why Asian students do so well in school while looking at data that showed Asian students did not receive as many D and F letter grades as other racial groups. “You cannot come to America and buy a house for two million dollars unless you have money. You cannot send kids and send them with a guardian unless you have money. So you’re going to be getting kids who are most affluent and have the four capitals, which I call the emotional capital, the financial capital, the educational capital and the social capital coming here to the United States and coming specifically to our area,” Dr. James-Wards added.
