[quote=Anonymous]I think this debate is pointless.

I am an Asian mom. I will continue to tutor my child and make sure that I am following a textbook and an international curriculum to teach him.

If it aligns with MCPS - great! If not - then I am not going to let my child's schooling interfere with his education.

I think parents who think like me are doing a disservice to our own children when we start touting the benefits of more rigorous education, parental involvement or following an international curriculum.

We do this mainly because we have had first hand experience of being educated in another country where standards were high, and many of us have maintained our ties so we are aware what is being taught in these countries even today.  People who were raised and educated here will naturally gravitate towards the type of education they are used to. This is cultural.

On the other hand, it reduced competition for my child if others do not have high standards for their children and rely on MCPS. So, why are we wasting our time trying to convince others?  Let's nod our heads and agree that we are doing something utterly wrong by focusing on education and valuing achievement, and get people off our backs.
