[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While everyone's experience is unique, here is what I noticed: 1. Asian American parents do not generally view a STEM classroom as a place where a child learns; rather, they expect a child to study ahead and REVIEW in a math / science classroom. While the school overall is 40% Asian, the advanced math classes will have a much larger percent of Asian students. [b]Most of them will be reviewing the material, not learning it for the first time. If you do not naturally come from that tradition, you need to plan accordingly. [/b] 2. If your child is a good student, he/she needs to be very comfortable being possibly the only non-Asian student in a class or (more commonly) an academic extracurricular activity, such as math team, physics team, orroboytics team.[/quote] And this 'tradition' starts in elementary school. Insane![/quote]
