We are Asian, do not prep, and have a child in a magnet program. While we are well-to-do, we also know very low-income Asian families who spend all they have on academics for their children.

It's disgusting that people openly discriminate against Asians, as if we were one cohesive group, who spoke the same language, belonged to the same culture, ate the same food, worshiped the same deities, or had similar political views. Asia is HUGE and DIVERSE. We are not inherently better at math or science. We work hard to achieve, even for those of us that employ rather more organic methods than straight-up test prep.

If some people cheated or nearly cheated, then punish them individually, and find a way to regulate entry into magnets that minimizes future cheating. But do so in a way that doesn't punish an entire continent. You did the same for multiple ethnicities that came before us: Native Americans, Blacks, various groups from Europe, and Jews. Have you evolved enough to not do the same to Asians?[/quote]

What exactly is being done in a new policy to “punish the entire continent”? Taking away the advantage provided by paid cram schools is not targeting one race or continent. It’s targeting cheating. If this does not seem like cheating to you, then we have a cultural difference between us. This is not the same as preparing for the SAT or reading to your kids at night. The accusation is that this company obtained a copy of a test that was supposed to be secret. It was supposed to be secret precisely so people did not teach their kids how to take it ahead of time.

There is no proof. It's all hearsay. All I know about that center is that the guy who owns the center makes kid really work hard and is very strict. It's possible kids saw familiar questions. Doesnt mean they got the exam questions before hand.
