[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The white parents are unsetting because their snowflakes are not the best students in the schools anymore .  . [/quote]

I think this is a large part of it.  White parents were accustomed to having their kids shine at everything without working hard.  Then, people came along who worked harder and won everything.  Rather than developing a work ethic and investing more time into activities, the white parents complain about Asians prepping and "ruining their children's childhood" with too much school.  This sentiment is very obvious if you read the AAP forum.  There is a huge cultural divide at play, since Asian families are more impressed by work ethic while white ones are more impressed by natural aptitude.

White parents have to make a choice.  Either they need to decide that winning isn't important and then stop complaining that their children aren't winning, or they need to decide that it is important and work harder.  It's absurd to complain that your children aren't the best because someone else is working harder, and that the solution is that the other person needs to stop practicing.  I'm white, FWIW.

This. You see it in DC with respect to a lot of rigorous programs like KIPP and Banneker. That said, I am not in favor of acceleration in elementary school, and if the school was starting to pile on homework at parent demand, I'd be annoyed. [/quote]
