Save yourself the energy. It’s not worth it. |
Why are you here using energy and even engaging then? |
I really don’t understand or appreciate your sarcasm. Unearned white/Asian privilege is not a joke. |
This is the rating scale they use for AAP:

Yes it is. Sheesh! |
What in the world is Asian privilege ? |
Asian privilege refers to the advantages that Asian American students gain from their parents' strong commitment to education. Whether they are white-collar professionals working in Reston or scraping dishes at a restaurant in Falls Church or washing clothes at dry cleaners in Herndon, Asian parents invest significant time and energy to ensure their children succeed academically. This often involves working long hours, taking on extra jobs, and sacrificing their own leisure time. In many cases, one parent—usually the mother—may choose not to work or quit her job entirely to focus on supervising their FCPS student, allowing them to concentrate on their studies. The values of hard work, self-improvement, and a love of learning are instilled in their student from a young age, reinforcing the belief that education is the path to a successful life. A parent might even forgo buying a new winter coat to save money for their children's Kumon fees. All of this is motivated by the hope that their children will achieve better grades, gain admission to good universities, and ultimately break the cycle of poverty, creating a better life than their parents had. |
And? Parents of any hue can choose to value education and sacrifice for their kids' future. Embrace the "privilege" and stop putting down parents who care about education. You can choose to put your time and treasure elsewhere, but stop complaining about others getting an unfair edge. |
Thank goodness for private school which automatically offers acceleration. I could not deal with all this crap on top of everything else |
“Embrace the privilege” ?? O.M.G. |
Whether it’s gymnastics, acrobatics, aquatic sports, or any form of athletics, the more support parents and family provide, the more successful the student will be! |
But that does not place every student on an equal footing. Not a "level playing field," so to speak. And thats not fair. |
How can FCPS dictate how parents spend their time, whether it's focused on their children's education or their own boy/girl friend? |
This whole post reads like satire. I still half expect that it is, but with DCUM one can never be sure. So sure, let’s penalize kids because their parents are decent people. What’s next, we should cut kids’ grades if their parents aren’t criminals because you know, how dare they not put themselves in prison to avoid giving their kids a disadvantage in life?? |
This is called parenting |
