[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly who cares? I had a friend tell me that doing puzzles and reading to my kids for 30 min a day was leaving poor families at a disadvantage. You can't win. Somehow "equality" seems to be bringing down the high achievers versus just making the pie larger for everyone. I see that with so much right now in society too.

As long as there's no cheating or abuse of the children (I knew a girl when I was in school whose parents would beat her and she studied all night and couldn't stay awake during school), prepping is great. [/quote]

Pro-TJ reform here - what your friend told you is garbage. Those of us who are in favor of TJ reform don't have any issue with parents doing right by their kids. We have an issue with a system that incentivizes spending thousands of dollars and hours on exam prep. There are those who would conflate the two - those people are nuts.[/quote]

Whites spend even more money on prepping because they pay for private tutors for test preps, classes etc. private tutors cost much more than in class tuitions so we should outlaw those first. [/quote]

White person here.  I've never known a white family in my entire life who paid for tutoring for their kids. This would be very uncommon in the white culture.  I've known white families who sent their kids to Catholic schools for a better education.[/quote]

This is because  you do not live  in Mclean, Great Falls, or Bethesda. I met many whites who sent their kids to some learning center to get good grades, to pass private school entrance exams, and to get better scores on the SAT. Some secretly hire expensive private tutors for their kids.  The difference between Asians and Whites is that poor Asian parents still send their kids to the center to learn because they cannot teach them or help even them with homework due to their language barrier. I know one Asian family whose mother works for a school Cafeteria for insurance and whose father works part time for a construction company. Their kid went to the TJ prep and he got in. Asians believe that investment in education will create a huge impact in the future and will later prove to be worth it.

Some wealthy white parents pay between $200 to $400 per hour for in person private one on one tutoring or prepping. [/quote]
