[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like sour grapes. If people aren't willing to go above and beyond what is taught in schools, why should they be admitted to a rigorous program like this? Don't they know that their kid is going to have to do a ton of outside of school work? If they cannot be bothered to help their kids prep for one test, what do they think will happen when the workload piles up?[/quote] The other thing that not have been mentioned is many of these Asian parents spend every spare dollar on their kids. Many low income first generation parents don’t go out to eat or to the movies but will happily throw down the $1,500 for Princeton review classes etc. it’s that level of sacrifice that also weighs heavily but also makes the kids feel so supported and loved (and a little guilty) so they often work hard.
