[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours are mostly Asian, and the parents [u]do *not* speak English[/u][b].  It is a big deal, in reality.

In truth, I think the teachers want to win at any cost, and prefer to not have parent communication, but do want parental involvement (to motivate the children).  In other words, I think the teachers may fear that the white kids do not have the tiger parenting.

In reality, I know some over qualified (!!!!) white children who were overlooked because **supposedly** the S/O is chosen by "lottery" (fairly unbelievable).  No doubt, it is the school's loss.  It is especially the school's loss if the parent is highly successful and speaks English, too.

I wonder if certain media outlets would be curious to know about this practice.

I'm Asian and have been educated in English - from Lower Kindergarten in an Asian Country. I was 3 when I was enrolled in school. I have a Master degree in Engineering from a very good school in the US.

Most of my Asian friends talk fine English. Why this racial bias against Asians?[/quote]
