[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad to me that a kid who can get into a T20 hs no intellectual curiosity.  [b]This is what happens when you put test scores above all else.  Kids can grit through it, but that does not make them hunger to learn.[/b]

OP, college will be more interesting if he picks a major he likes.  I hope he finds something he enjoys and it lights a spark.  Congrats to him on great admissions and I hope he ends up inspiried and enjoys college.[/quote]

This sounds like anti-Asian racism to me. I see so many white parents around me degrade high-achieving Asian students as "test score machines who grit through it without any hunger to learn." Who cares if they genuinely care about learning or not?! What high-achieving students like OP's kid have found is that life -- like school -- is like going through intensely unpleasant and painful things for a financial reward at the end. You grit your teeth through high school classes you may not like to do a college major you might not necessarily like to do a job you might not be passionate about SO YOU CAN PAY YOUR GODDAMN BILLS!!!!!! Anything else -- this intellectual curiosity, passion fluff -- is for rich kids who are independently wealthy. [/quote]
