[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Asian-American immigrant with no networks, hooks and connections, I always felt that my kids will have a better chance of being successful if they are excelling in education and other hard to learn skills. The higher the academic barrier to entry for a sought after opportunity, the more the playing field is leveled for my kids. So, the Great Math Race is the only chance of equality and equity for my kids because they are being judged on their hard-work, intelligence and mastery. [/quote] Math is not everything. It’s definitely an Asian American obsession. [/quote] Who your dad's golf buddies are is also hugely important in America, but that is a milleu immigrants are excluded from. Hence, they try to compete on merit. Maybe their grandkids will have the connections and capital to follow their passions without worrying too much about their ability to find a job.[/quote]
