[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian kids in NY are still doing great. We probably should just do whatever it is that they and their families do. Don’t breed with morons, make your kids study, etc. [/quote]

It’s called the homework table from an article in the New York Times profiling Vietnamese family (first gen) whose children all made it to Stuyvesant High (wiki the high school for context)

- you would need to give up your promotion (dinner and cohesion at table every night is the key was thesis of piece)
-you would need to give up your ego (you nor your child are very bright: extreme hard work is the emphasis)
-you would need to join a church or stay in touch/physically enmeshed with extended family for free tutoring 
-you would have multiple kids but get the eldest ‘right’ and the rest of your kids will follow with free tutoring

In the end it’s that ‘homework table’ that got it right - backed by a ton of social power and community cohesion.

Folks half my upper class neighbors are going through divorces![/quote]
