[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the sound of things I would never consider this school district for my family. I suspect many others would feel the same. Maybe the superintendent is realizing that people are going to start fleeing his district if parents insist on a Korean or Indian model of education. And are we really talking about the value of math and spelling memorization in a world with calculators and auto-correct? [b]These kids are going to be run over by the kids who learned creativity, social skills, leadership, and love of learning.[/b][/quote] Nope. This has been going on for decades, and Asian Americans, as a group, are doing much better that ANY other group. If anything, they are being run over by the BS-educated whites and blacks who need affirmative action programs (by race, legacy or sports) to compensate for their poor academic preparation.[/quote]
