[quote=Anonymous]I think the opinion is interesting but it doesn’t capture or reflect the large numbers of Asian and Asian American parents who supported the move away from the SAT and grade ranking. The author (whether it’s of the opinion piece or the book author, I’m not sure, though I suspect the former) talks about Asian and Asian American parents like they are a monolith. But they aren’t. Everyone has heard about the sharply higher rate of teen suicide in Palo Alto. But what is less known outside of the Bay Area is how much those terrible losses were disproportionately of Asian boys. The dialogue in the Bay Area about mental health is complex and multivariate, including within the Asian and Asian American community. I didn’t get the sense the author of the opinion piece, at least, understood that complexity. The book author hopefully does. I also think the opinion writer is correct to observe there is a great deal of anti-Asian sentiment behind some of these changes. [/quote]
