[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait until you get to MS and HS when teacher choose award recipients. You'll see how few Asian American students especially East Asian students get awards for anything other than grades.[/quote]

This is not the case where my kids go. Their school is about 60% white and 30% Asian, and Asian students win most of the awards (except athletics!) [/quote]

Our school that has a high percentage of Asians got rid of academic awards for this very reason a few years. Because all the winners were Asian and they didn't want that. They instead started "soft" awards of kids chosen by teachers. Every single one was white or another non-Asian minority. [/quote]

Yes this.

My kids highly rated public school at graduation had speeches by a couple kids in the student gov’t (white), had all kids joining the military or military school stand for applause (mostly white), and another stand and applause for a sports team that went to states (mostly white and black).  All were worthy of their applause and recognition.

National Merit Scholar finalists and winner, were not recognized at all. Not even a name read or head nod.

And the concept of class rank and valedictorian was eliminated years ago.
