[quote=Anonymous][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]

This attitude is reasonable and logical.  And it's not news that the US k-12 is bad in comparison with other developed countries. The changes that the influx Asian students bring should be overall positive to any open-minded people, no matter how uncomfortable it feels initially. [/quote]

+1 to both of these. We're not Asian but DC are involved in a lot of activities where a majority or large percentage of the kids are. In general, I think their work ethic is admirable and it's a good influence on my children to see that working hard is vitally important, even if natural talent is present too. [/quote]

We also live in an area with a lot of Asians but we happen to be Asian American. DH and I grew up here and are very Americanized. These Asian kids who do extra work outside of school have set the bar higher and now my children are better students. They have to study harder to keep up.[/quote]
