[quote]I think you're wrong to characterize Americans as unwilling to help their children succeed academically. I'm a white American (5th generation so well established) and we do lots of enrichment and use Mathnasium. Meanwhile, our daughter's friend group is mostly second generation (African and European) and none of them do tutoring. The enrichment-focused segment of parents tends to be Nigerian, Asian, and affluent whites. So please, just stop bashing American culture.[/quote] 
  
[quote]Not true. Americans are into athletic (e.g., lacrosse, swimming, baseball, soccer, gymnastics) and recreational enrichment bigly!!! 
Where do you live? Not our America.[/quote] 
   
[quote]What about opioid enrichment...hugely? Just look at the increase to the organ donor supply over the last few years![/quote]

Tutoring and enrichment activity are NOT limited to Nigerians and Asians.  Other  Americans spend billions of dollars on tutoring, enrichment, camps, athletics, clubs, NIKE this and that for their children.  Americans are the global kings of tutoring, enrichment, and opioid abuse by a very long shot despite a 5% proportion of the global population.
