[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the stereotype was that "old money" people had to make their academic achievement appear effortless and that "trying to hard" was declasse.[/quote] I posted about our private, and yes, the[b] “secret” tutoring and quiet complaints about academic rigor is mostly the white families and the public tutoring and loud complains about academic rigor is mostly the 1st gen parents. [/b] We’re a mixed and immigrant family so everyone assumes I’m one of them and I hear all of the complaints![/quote] Also my experience. I remember a particularly cringy group chat where one of the Asian moms was trying to be helpful and recommended all the CogAT and NNAT prep resources she used to help her child get a better score after not making it to the gifted program the first time around. She didn't know it's one of those things you're not supposed to admit.[/quote]
