That's very true. Growing up I made friends with Asian kids at schools with lower concentrations of Asians, including my own. They commonly made a lot of self deprecating jokes about Asian stereotypes and it was very common for them to be the target of teasing.

Then I went to college and made friends with a lot of kids who went to well-regarded schools with high Asian pop. They found those kinds of jokes very offensive. Their schools were a totally different environment.

Wootton and its feeders are great schools. People pay a lot of money to buy homes zoned to them because that kind of an environment is so hard to find. The complaints in this thread and the idea of avoiding high achieving kids will never not be funny to me, sorry. Where my family is from people would give anything for such an opportunity. People do occasionally speak Chinese around me sometimes but somehow I manage to survive.[/quote]
