[quote=Anonymous]Is it also stereotyping when people go on and on on this board about the Asian “culture of success” and “focus on education”? You can’t have it both ways. If you maintain that Asian Americans have a uniquely intense focus on education, hard work, and success, then you can’t complain when parents of different cultural backgrounds speak up and say “whoa, our school is way too focused on education, hard work, and success lately.” I am one of those white parents who thinks there can indeed be too much of a good thing sometimes. Too much when it means after-school math classes, test prep classes, and the “anything other than an A isn’t acceptable” attitude. I’m not about to tell people to move away or change their community, but I’m happy to move away from all that myself.[/quote]
