[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I taught 3rd grade, the father of my one Asian student asked for an extra math text book to keep at home so they could practice math. The other white more affluent parents complained if I assigned math homework on a game night, like for soccer or some extra curricular league. I had no idea of the schedule. A white family took their son out of class for a week to attend the Workd Series in another state. I could go on and on. [/quote]

Homework doesn't actually do that much good. So, I question your teaching methods. [/quote]

But it does do enough good to get children into high level reading, math, and science programs in elementary and middle schools and into IB and AP classes in high school, and then into college majors that train them for good jobs or graduate programs.

Eventually, they will provide financial assistance to adults whose teachers thought homework didn’t do much good.

Humans don't get good at much of anything without practice.  Homework is practice.

There are no successful mathematicians, musicians, scientists, doctors or anything else of value that didn't get there by working hard for years and years.

One of the key flaws I see in modern Western culture and education is the idea that success should be effortless and that students shouldn't be expected to put real time and energy into their work.[/quote]

This. Stop insulting children who study. It’s not a good look.[/quote]

They can't.  If Asians show you can succeed through hard work people might start to ask questions like... "what other groups could succeed through hard work?"

This is obviously a question that can't be asked, and so Asians just need to not work so hard and stop making other groups look bad.

It does seem that because the phenomenal success of Asian-Americans can't be explained away nor fits the narrative, they have to be effectively punished and cut out of the picture.

The entire woke movement is solely about the failures of a certain racial demographic. I don't like saying this but there is an extraordinary amount of enabling and avoiding of basic reality and it effectively means everyone else is being penalized / dragged down to avoid this basic reality, to the point of inventing a bogeyman and imposing it on the entire society as the raison d'entre for all the highly divisive social programs and educational curriculums (which are, when you look closely at the details, little more than rubbish and fiction and revisionist history).

100%.  Well said. The big secret that nobody talks about out loud. [/quote]
