They go to Chinese school to learn Chinese on the weekend. May have a couple of extracurricular activities. May do some extra work, either with parents, in groups, or go to learning centers. If English is bad, may also have someone help there too.

Serious question here: So, after all of that studying and learning, are the kids considered a failure if they don't excel at school and get into TJ or another top high school...and then a top college? Is there a lot of competition within the Asian community to brag about where your child is going to school? Any shame among the community when the kid only gets into a "regular" school? I'd really like to understand this. Thanks.

Gosh, get to know some Asian families in real life.

Agree. I think not enough know enough Asian families. Hence all the misconceptions and the stereotyping.

I have many wonderful Asian friends, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Indian....They are some of the best people I have ever met. Most did grow up here and had immigrant parents. However, I think it’s the newer generation of Asians, it’s “some” who are immigrating right now. It seems to be a different mindset than the older generations. It seems to be much more cut throat, self righteous and exclusive. Again, this is only some. This is just my observation.

This is what people don't understand - there are many layers of Asians. Asians from different countries. Asians from different generations of immigrants.

And everyone is grouping them together as one monolithic monster.

Do You know what is more dangerous than the idiots? Idiots who are too stupid to even realize they are idiots.

And also what many don’t seem to want to admit is that there is a fair amount of racism existing within Asian culture, even amongst themselves. It’s brutal.

My neighbors are new Chinese immigrants and they pay $14,000 a year to send their son to a tutoring center. And we live in a desirable school district with excellent schools.

Well, to be fair, OP and other posters are grouping them together as one monolithic victim, so you end up with multiple over-generalizations.

My neighbors are new European and immigrants and they pay $19,000 a year to send their daughter to a tutoring center. And we live in a desirable school district with excellent schools.

Just the same way all Asians are not the same, all blacks are not the same. There are many elite black professionals. Private schools have plenty of well educated black families. There are also African immigrants who act very similarly to Asian immigrants. I was surprised to see just as many African children at Kumon as Asian kids. My Asian American kid hated kumon and refused to do the worksheets and we stopped going. Kumon was full of Indians and Africans.

Why do you need to understand this? Is there shame in white families if their kids don't get a sports scholarship after spending thousands of dollars on travel sports and private coaches? Are they considered "failures". What about black kids who fail to get into a good university even after affirmative action? Are they considered failures?

See how that works?

lol good response to serious question after serious question.
I'd like to know the answer too.

So many families in Fairfax county send their kids to the private schools like Nysmith , Potomac school and Madeira . The Chinese kids Who you mentioned might need to learn extra education because of language barrier.

Just trying to inject a teeny bit of reality here.

Potomac has 10 percent of student body black. Asians are 7 percent.

[Anonymous]

Nysmith is 11% Asian, 5% Black.

Both are like 77% White.
