[quote=Anonymous]The two articles barely skim the surface of the issues. I don't like how the Slate piece derides "white and Asian" parents prepping kids for GT tests as "gaming the system." Where's the gaming in helping kids prepare for any tough test? If my hard-scrabble immigrant parents hadn't played this "game," sacrificing time and money they didn't really have to send me to quality test prep on weekends, I couldn't have attended a NYC magnet high school, the best thing that's ever happened to me. The complaints in the article are yet another example of how immigrants, particularly East Asian immigrants, are seen as not playing by the rules in this country - damn them, they work too hard for the good of society, and expect their kids to do the same.
