[quote=Anonymous]David French has an adopted 4 or 5 year old black daughter. It will be interesting to see what he posts when his daughter is 18. Let's see if his daughter experiences lowered expectations in school. I see it with my minority sons. There is an assumption that they aren't smart, just athletic. Every year teachers are so surprised they are in the top reading and math groups. In kindergarten a friend who is Asian told me her child got accelerated work and homework from the first week of school, while it took until October or November for my son to get the same work while he is actually more advanced than she is (according to her mom who volunteers in class). She told me the teacher commented to her that she was so surprised how well my son could do math. Minority kid does well in school it is surprising; Asian kid does well it is expected. [/quote]
