[quote=Anonymous][quote]Both of us are in science-related fields, [/quote] I wasn't the PP who assumed the OP's child would be academically advanced but I agree with the assumption. Most people in scientific fields have academically advanced kids with high IQs. Science and math are not strongly promoted in US education from elementary school though college. No one majors in math or science for the fun of it. The students who choose these areas are more gifted in these subjects. Everyone else ends up in business, marketing, English, communications etc and onto law if they are smart but not particularly great at anything else :-) The OP didn't specify whether she was 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation South Asian/American just alluded that she went to a US school with no diversity. 1st and 2 nd generation parents tend (statistically) to follow more cultural norms of emphasizing hard work, academic rigor, and prep/assist/sometimes push their kids academically.
