[quote=Anonymous]Some of you keep portraying the Asian families who have children in these classes as these elite, scheming individuals trying to game the system.

Most of the Asian families I know who have their kids in those classes are from immigrant families who do not understand the schooling system very well in the United States. They are trying to use those classes as a way to level the playing field to do the enrichment that they are not able to provide - not get an advantage.

If you are a white family who has been in this country for generations probably understand education here better because you went through it. You may also just talk about issues differently at the dinner table that perspectives that someone who immigrated here did not. You may take your child to see their grandparents who are reading the NYT and then discussing it with their grandchildren. Regular things you do in your life provide an advantage that these Asian parents cannot provide. Why is this so difficult to understand?
