Asian American parent here. My kids were born here. They play sports and scouts. No test center prep or tutoring. They are in aap.

I came to the US when I was 3. Also no prep or tutoring. I studied hard because I wanted to achieve.

Academics do come first in our house. Sports second. My kids seem naturally gifted in math. They truly love it and excel. Sports not so much. They play soccer, tennis, golf, ski and swim team. Also play piano and violin. They both go to a few birthday parties per month and each have a few play dates per week as well.

Your stereotype of Asians and aap seems way off. Many kids of elementary aged kids are second generation. We grew up here and also American. I never experienced these tutoring centers in Asia but I know they exist. I’m so glad my kids can enjoy their childhood.[/quote]

I’m white and born in the US, as are my kids.  Academics come first in our house, with sports second.  So there’s another stereotype buster.[/quote]
