[quote=Anonymous]The Chinese- and Indian-ancestry kids who are in America predominately come from families who could, for cultural, biological, and genetic reasons, study hard and perform well on tests. In many cases these traits were selected for over millennia. America is fortunate to have these smart and hard-working families and kids. Hopefully their smarts and grit doesn’t get beat out of them by the system. It’s insane that we can’t say these Asian kids perform better in part because they are just biologically smarter than the average non-Asian American kid. Academic achievement is at least 50% genetic in early childhood, and even more so as kids get older. [/quote]
