[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, parents of non-Asians: You want your kid to be able to compete with the Tiger mom-influenced strivers who get into TJ? Then get you kids off their asses, away from their screens and MAKE THEM STUDY! All the better if they're naturally gifted in math and science.

Magnet schools are a privilege, not a right and the ones who work hard are the ones who get rewarded with a challenging, excellent education.[/quote]

Parents of non-Asians increasingly do not want to send their kids to TJ, not because they're on their asses and screens, but because they're on the ballfields or the stage - and they correctly understand that in order to have the best chance to get into TJ, they will have to give those passions up (which have incredible value both inside and outside the classroom) to maximize their test prep and STEM activities.[/quote]

I want non-Asians to recognize that the PP Asian does not represent all Asian, but this is how you perceive all Asians, and the PP just confirms your perception. But,  remember, that is one person. We have to stop stereotyping people. [/quote]

I'm not the "PP Asian" you are referring to nor do I think like that but why are you so concerned about what others will think of you?  Are you afraid they will come after you with pitchforks?  Let them. I have bigger pitchforks..  We are not Chinese miners from a 100 years ago.  [/quote]
