[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 Those kids are really bright to begin with and the intensive enrichment culture makes them even more competitive. Lots of parents with advanced degrees in the BCC/Whitman area too but the parents are more secretive so there's less outward pressure to enrich. Make no mistake most parents are doing it at home but guessing the number of hours they spend is much smaller than the Cold Spring area parents.[/quote] Many of the Asian American parents there are immigrants, and used to the prep culture. There's zero shame in it, and actually, it's expected. Whereas in the American culture, you only got outside tutors if you were behind, so there is usually a stigma attached to it. And it's not just around here. The prep culture among the Asian immigrants is everywhere in the US. My friend out in CA told me the same thing. I'm not judging it, just trying to explain why so many do it. We are Asian American, not recent immigrants.[/quote]
