[quote=Anonymous]This doesn't just happen in low income schools. Asian parents often struggle and don't understand how to push for their needs in the W schools. Many are very active in their own communities but have a reluctance to publicly challenge authority figures in the schools. White PTA members get caught up in the book fairs and trying to make sure they don't get on the school's bad side and end up having their kid assigned to bad teachers. I've seen Asian PHD scientists sit quietly when I know that they are seething and everything explodes afterward once they are back in their communities. I've seen white PTA members ignore every substantive issue and obsess about the darn book fairs. There are some white and asian parents that buck the stereotypes and advocate based on educational policy knowledge or work to represent others but these people are few and far between. [/quote]
