[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has a good friend at one of these schools and the family loves it. They are second generation. It sounded like the families were really friendly and like anywhere it was a mix of more academically oriented families and ones that are less so.

Being at a different school with a concentration of Asians, I have never felt anything but support from the families of immigrants. They shared resources with us and each other and genuinely were happy when a certain kid did well in Math Kangaroo or a dance contest.

In all frankness, I did not feel that way about the [b]non-Asian families who seemed to want to gatekeep opportunities, pretended their kids weren't getting tutored when they were, and said negative things behind other families' backs and especially targeted any child that was doing well.

100% true. For instance, at one school, gatekeeper(s) were the school's listserv moderator(s), withholding pertinent info while viewing the messages themselves but not approving them to be posted. Later found some key info had been shared by members of school community but was not known to all because moderator did not post or forward those messages. A few other examples too long to post here.
