[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the entire thread, but I am white and can say that my son, who attended elementary and middle school in Potomac MCPS schools, was very well prepared for high school math (in a rigorous private high school).  I thank the Asian American population which pushed our school to challenge the kids, which might not have happened otherwise.  You should be grateful that these people are joining our communities and setting the bar higher.  I hope it continues.[/quote]

Let me get this straight. This poster is saying “Asian parents are pushing our schools to challenge the kids and I like it.” Presumably people do not think this statement is racist or stereotyping. But when others of us say “Asian parents are pushing our schools to challenge the kids and I DON’T like it,” then we are called out for stereotyping and racism? [/quote]

Neither is racist. This thread isn’t about racism. It’s about parents with high achieving kids who are grateful when they get 
challenging coursework, and parents who have regular/average kids who hate hard coursework bc it make their kids  stressed.

Answer?? Separate classes!!!!!
