[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole discussion does point out how awful our schools are. Not awful as in "failing to educate" perhaps, but definitely awful as "only the top high school is considered competitive internationally".

I grew up in Western Europe and benefited from a free and excellent education. It is a strange realization that this is not an option for most Americans. [/quote]
In Western Europe do they offer prep courses for every single standardized test? These courses have aided in broadening the preexisting chasm amongst students. It may be legal, but it isn’t fair. Ruthless helicopter parents and obsessive prepping don’t always yield successful gifted students.[/quote]

We have lot of tests in this country and enormous unfairness including singling out this particular TJ test out of dozens of tests and singling out Asians to discriminate. [/quote]
It has nothing to do with Asians, but everything to do with people of all races working the system to one’s advantage. If we are to truly weed out the unqualified students, and discover raw talent/genius, we need to completely level the playing field. Anything else is skewed.[/quote]
