Stop with the “it’s only an hour a week”. If it is you aren't the problem.

Where are these groups kids who are doing hours of tutoring every night to the point that entire school cultures are changed?  My kids attend a somewhat competitive AAP center with a decently high percentage of Asians in the middle of the county.  I don't think there's a single kid there who is doing cram school.  None of the kids who are taking Algebra in 6th or who are winning the math contests are doing more than taking a 2 hour/week class at RSM or AoPS.  Do you actually know that a bunch of kids at your school are doing cram school and asking for special privileges, or are you assuming that any Asian kid who is decently above grade level must be a prep robot?[/quote]

In the imagination of people in denial about their child being merely average in this region ... [/quote]

In a STEM magnet across the river, the magnet asian kids are on many sports team in school.  Many of the best players  are the magnet Asian kids.   Accusing  academically prepared Asian kids for being robots or damaging school culture is nonsense.   If you want your DC to spend 20 hours on sports or travel team but  ignore academic performance,  it is the route you and your DC take .  Don't blame  others run too fast if you don't want or cannot keep up the speed.
