[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours are mostly Asian, and the parents do *not* speak English.  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.

From an outside perspective, you are probably right.

There was likely not an actual lottery.

However, selection was not based on what you suspect, ie tiger parents.

The "lottery" was likely to keep pain in the rear parents like you out of the program, as no one wants to spend more time with a self important ass than actually necessary.[/quote]
