[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some people prepping is so normal they don’t consider it prepping... tons of families I know don’t think they are “prepping”.
“Everyone” does extra math and such... [/quote]

You say doing extra math is prepping but doing extra sports during school years to get to a good college on the basis of sports, what's that? Is that prepping too? If yes, then people work hard towards things they think they can be good at.  For some people it's sports and for some people it's stem.

Why do people complain when people take extra STEM classes but don't complain when people do extra stuff in sports! [/quote]

Dude, get with the program!  When Asians do something extra, its prepping and WRONG.  When White people do it, it's called enrichment and should be admired.  Did you miss the orientation when you got off the boat?! :D [/quote]

LOL..so true.

I feel we should just back off from this generalizations. Let people do things they are good at. As a human being we all have to work hard and contribute to the society. 
Excelling in sports isn't easy and excelling in STEM isn't easy. So people who do well in either of these fields, give them some credit and don't downplay their achievements as prepped kids.

There are instances where kids are forced by parents to do better in STEM and some kids have pressure of doing better in Sports. Both approaches aren't good for kids but not ALL STEM kids and not ALL Sports kids are forced or prepped to death. To excel in anything, you have to do extra. Its not like you are cheating. You are working extra hard.
