[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet the Indian kids his families take them on these two month long midyear vacations often graduate top of the class and go to the best universities.[/quote] Well first of all, it’s not just Indian families who take these trips. I have students from all backgrounds who do. That being said, Indian families heavily support academics at home and with supplemental resources such as tutoring, Kumon, additional math etc that not all families do, and that certainly gives them an edge. Their culture prioritizes academic achievement and will facilitate it in ways not all families do, so these students aren’t as negatively impacted in an academic sense as some of their peers who are also gone for extended periods. Some students are already being in reading and math and genuinely cannot afford to miss this much school , but we can’t control if they do or not (nor can they). [/quote]
