You have to look at the ethnicities that are over-represented in AAP compared with ethnicity enrollment data. That will tell you who is engaging in widespread test prepping, tutoring at early ages, etc. The only ethnicity that falls into that category is Asian American. Not every Asian American parent is doing this, of course. Not by a long shot. But there is a heck of a lot more of this behavior going on among families of Asian descent than any other race, including whites.[/quote]
And the jealous racist comes out. I've been waiting for you.[/quote]

I don't think she needs help sleeping, but you on the other hand seem all bent up about it. Nobody is doing anything illegal. You're just too dumb to get it. You want to penalize and criminalize people based on your flawed perception. [/quote]

I'm not sure where you got from my post that I'm "all bent up about it." Maybe you think I am the same poster who said it was illegal. Nothing in my one post above says anything about criminalizing anything. I am just saying that Asian American families in this area are more likely to prep their children for AAP, TJ, etc. than white families. I made this point because the previous poster seemed to be pointing at rich white families as the main source of this arms race to get their children into advanced classes. While there are some white people who do that, and there are plenty of Asian Americans who do not do that, the numbers do tell a story that is very clear. I have no agenda.  I don't even live in FCPS area, and am not jealous either. I am just clarifying that  the numbers don't support the previous poster's assertion about white parents. I am sure that someone will still call me a racist because it's impossible to have a civilized conversation about race on an anonymous message board. [/quote]
