I'm not concerned about your kids or what you're doing with them.  Rather, your posts have such a condescending and judgmental ring to them, I was thinking it would kind of suck if our kids were on the same birthday party or social circuit and this is what you're thinking in your head all the time about the rest of us slacker parents.  I don't need that in my life.

Whatever. I cannot do anything about your own insecurities. If another student's achievements makes you feel that you are a slacker mom or being judged (and that too in an anonymous forum where you do not know if anything I have said it true or false) then that is your problem. BTW - how would you know what anyone is thinking about you in their own heads?  You do not get out much, do you?

So sorry.  Such a packed social schedule the past few days I didn't see your response.  I don't fear your child's achievements, or yours.  What scares me about you is the idea that I might know you IRL, maybe have to socialize with you for our kids' sake.  I just don't care to waste my time with people like you, and it's a pity that, living in MoCo, it is hard to avoid.  But like I said, as an Asian mom myself, I just had to say something to dispel the caricature that people like you too often paint of Asian moms.  And before you dismiss me as the kind of mom who "just" focuses on dance and sports classes, and who is just too clueless to apprehend all the faults you see in the inferior MCPS system, or too cheap and shortsighted to see the need to pay thousands to tutor my kids on the ES curriculum, I'm Ivy and my kids are HGC.  I never had a tutor and never took a prep course and neither have my kids.  If you want to win people over to your ideas about improving the curriculum, you should drop the condescending attitude.[/quote]

+1 Asian mom that doesn't make my already smart kids go to tutors.  I'd use one if my kid needed help or actually ASKED to have one.  So glad I am not the only Asian mom that thinks this way. :)[/quote]

Sorry - but [b]Asian moms never call their kids "smart". [/b]You are are troll!  :lol: [/quote]

Do you know every Asian mom in this world?  Wow!  I'm Asian, and I do call my kids smart because they are. I make sure they know they are not the smartest or the best and to be humble, but I also  let them know this so they know to not give up on something because it is hard. It gives them some confidence.  And how wonderful for them that their parents think they are smart and have no problems complimenting them.

My parents also had a hard time complimenting us as kids. They do so now as adults, but it would've been nice to hear a compliment or two as a kid, like when I brought home 5 As and 1B, and all they could do was focus on the B - in PE for god's sake.  Parents that never compliment their kids may end up having kids that have issues like "I'm never good enough" when they get older. How sad.[/quote]
