[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't our goal to compete with and surpass asian countries?

Yet when people approach education the way the asian countries do, people here start to cry.

It is quite silly really.

My kid was placed in AAP through non prepped test scores only, like other out of state transfers. Not work samples. Not teacher evaluations.They only look at the scores.

As a parent with a naturally very high scoring student, I can say with certainty that those allegedly prepped kids did nothing to dilute the program.  In fact, they often led the class and were very impressive with their work ethic and overall approach to learning.

Our non prepped kids can all learn quite a bit from those hard working preppers.[/quote]

Isn't our goal to compete with and surpass asian countries? Yes but if people are hypocritical and just attack Asians for outperforming whites saying all they do is prep. while whites are prepping more for even younger kids, there will not be any surpassing or competing.

Yet when people approach education the way the asian countries do, people here start to cry. [b]Don't assume all or almost all Asians prep for AAP. Asians typically start to prep for high school not in 2nd grade. You are stereotyping.

[b]if your kid was placed in AAP without prepping, why do you care whether people prep or not? Why bother defending people who prep?

If so, how do you know whether prepped kids dilute the program or not?

You assume quite a bit.
Our non prepped kids can all learn quite a bit from those hard working preppers. You are stereotyping again. Don't assume Asians are hard at work prepping. Whites do more prepping at an earlier age obsessed with AAP. Don't be prejudiced.  [/quote][/quote]
