[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian Americans largely prefer a STEM magnet to a Humanities magnet.  Hence the outrage over anything (TPMS admissions) that affects the progeny of the Tiger parents.[/quote]
OR many of the Asian parents who live in school clusters that were shut out (Wootton, Churchill) are scientists and engineers. Their children unsurprisingly are also really interested in and good at Math and Science.  No tiger parenting necessary.[/quote]

Is interest in math and science a heritable trait? Who knew?[/quote]
Not a scientist so can’t answer your question but I am sure the interest can be nurtured. My husband and I both have graduate degrees and enjoy learning. I think we’ve passed that attitude to our children by reading to them, engaging them in conversation, taking them to plays, musical performances and to museums.  We are very lucky to live in an area where many cultural amenities are free and we have a fabulous public library system.   I am not saying that you need a graduate degree to parent in this way. What I am saying is that it came naturally for us to parent in this manner because we both love learning. [/quote]
