[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]So if you are Asian and you are in Algebra in 6th grade then it must be you are hothoused, but if you are White it is because you are brilliant or gifted?[/b] so instead of blaming the school for not doing more for brilliant kids you blame parents for wanting to help their children succeeed. [/quote] Yep. You nailed it. But don't forget that in typical American culture, kids are also supposed to be rewarded for natural brilliance and not for effort based achievement. Schools should test everyone and place them in the most appropriate class given their current level. It's not the school's place to scrutinize why a child might be advanced and offer or deny opportunities based on what they're assuming about the child's homelife. [/quote]
