[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's not turn this into an immigrant bashing thread. I don't have the energy.[/quote]

I don't think it's immigrant bashing.  I think it's a fact that, as a whole, Asians are more focused on academics than the average nonAsian American.  When you have a high concentration in an area, which we do, that affects the overall culture of the schools.  There's no putting the genie back in the bottle at this point.[/quote]

First generation asian Americans are not more focused than some subgroups of multi-generational Americans.  The difference is, they grew up in a culture where, if you failed to meet spec once, you were out; no second chances.  In the US, there are so many onramps to success.  But, in India, if you do not do well on the early placement tests, you will never get a chance.  And there are several other places.  So, prep for AAP exams, make sure you pass the SOL's, and all other exams, TJ is a must....SAT prep begins early.  etc.
