[quote=Anonymous]Welcome to South Korea. Face it. This is what is happening when we are influenced by Asian culture. Our public school 'magnet' programs are becoming places that fit the 'winner take all' society and American culture is being influenced by this 'cram' school mentality. Go to public school for social reasons -- and cram school to get ahead. Remember in Asian culture they do not value 'native' intelligence as much as hard work. As a fifth generation American we could borrow some of their philosophy -- I think we've become too soft on our kids and they are in for a shock when they realize they have to compete in a smaller and smaller global marketplace. Great article from Harvard Education on the subject. 'The Other Achievement Gap: The lessons we can learn from Asian American success." https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/17/04/other-achievement-gap[/quote]
