Stop trolling and pretending to be an Asian parent. You're trying to label TJ students as preppers. Kumon is actually not helpful at all to TJ admission and competitive work.

Aren't they? ??

No. At least not more than the white kids. When white people prep (or they call it enrich), nobody labels them anything. This is the true (white) privilege. This is the injustice everyone should fight against, not Asians getting some good results after hard work.

I'm the PP you have responded to, but at least you admitted that TJ students do prep, be it white kids or Asian kids.
You see, I didn't say Asian or White. I said "they" but I guess you believe the school belongs to Asians.

“Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation”. Guess who said that? Alabama white boy Zig Ziglar. So it's OK to prep. We have the white man stamp of approval

You should try that sometimes.. Your success rate could go up too!

It's probably easier for her to leverage George Floyd's death.

Let me get this right. The real injustice here is that whitey preps and is not labeled as such, but Asians prep and that is meritorious. I don't know who preps more and frankly I don't think that is knowable, but your comment is inane I am in the no-prep camp, but be free to piss your money and kids' childhoods away. That's your choice.
The problem with DCUM is idiot privilege and no one is embarrassed to demonstrate theirs.

Those who want to prep, please do. Those that don't want to, don't. Do so without worrying that an idiot might judge you.

I was trying to address the double standard in the original post. I don't care if people prep.
So, I am the owner of two half breeds that attend TJ. They didn't really prep, but had they prepped, would they have they have gotten in via white privilege or Asian meritocracy? Enquiring minds would like to know.

I'm not going to get into AA issues since everything get ugly early with everyone acting on racial stereotypes, particularly AA and Asian, with little actual thought.

Neither. The admission process it supposedly colorblind so you wouldn't know which of the two factored into your kids getting in. I don't think prep for the test makes a difference for the reasonably smart kids. It might for the borderline kids. A lot of kids that prepped for years don't make it.

However, prepping throughout school, through STEM activities, making the teacher take note of your STEM interest, etc. that likely has a higher bearing on admissions. IMHO of course..

The admissions process at TJ is "colorblind" in the same way that some people claim that "they don't see color." The process is set up to favor kids who present as TJ-ready based not just on test scores (which may have their own inherent biases) but also essays, information sheets and teacher recommendations that kids from well-to-do Asian families know how to assemble to maximum advantage, while kids from less advantaged backgrounds may not.

You want to fight "inequality" with racism against Asians? Sure, why not.

There are a handful of posters who come on here constantly to let us know their kids didn't prep at all. This barely counts as a "humblebrag," and it's a distraction from the bigger issues around TJ. It's not going to stop TJ from getting the long-delayed scrutiny that it so richly (no pun intended) deserves.

Just because people have financial resources, doesn't mean they prepped. Get your logic straight.

I'm comfortable with my facts and logic. You should spend more time worrying about your ethics.

I'm stunned how shameless you are. You have the guts to talk ethics to a group of people who are the most law abiding, hard working and actually doing a lot to really help the community? What positive things have you people done to this country? HINT: crying victim because your grand-grand-grand-grand father was a slave isn't one of them.

Who on earth are you talk about? Are you really self-centered enough to think that TJ parents deserve such accolades because their kids got into TJ? No wonder your graduation banners are always so big. They must size them in line with your egos.

You dig your own hole deeper every time you open your mouth.

you know exactly who I was talking about. your trick of labeling people is as dirty as your heart, which is full of hatred and bias. go seek your undeserved "equality" in a communist country.

Yes, we all know exactly who you were talking about. That’s what prompted the post. You are disgusting and it’s in plain sight.

It's probably easier for her to leverage George Floyd's death.

Just like it will be easier for you to leech off the struggles and hard work of others, as usual.

You mean struggles with drugs? As to hard work, lol...we all know the truth.
And exactly how other people took advantage of you? Are you suggesting everybody should stop being productive when you are not having a good time?

NBA only hire the best basketball players, and most are black, are they racist too?!

This thread is full of hatred and jealousy towards the Asians.

It's time to get rid of the "race" box on applications. Stop reporting admission data by race.

If you look deeper, you'd notice that in our public school systems, the high-achieving black students are often 1st or 2nd generation immigrants from Africa. on their profile they check "black" just as all the other black students, but in fact they have a very different culture background. The Asians are also often 1st and 2nd generation immigrants. Immigrant families just word harder and they should be rewarded for their hard work.

Please stop with this tired canard. Everyone needs a good education, few people even have the skills to become a basketball player.

You are ignorant. The Africans that just came here from Africa are much wealthier on average than the formerly enslaved AAs.

Are you sure? I am a 2nd-generation immigrant from Somalia. My dad and mom came here with nothing.

Not really. Almost everyone plays basketball. But only a handful goes to the top level. It’s the same for a lot of things including education.

NP. Both DH and I also noticed that our black coworkers who immigrated from Africa in general work much harder than black people born here.

As the real estate forum proved, there is no such thing as a second generation immigrant.
