[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm close-minded and provincial, but it bugs me that local public school resources--paid for by tax dollars especially property tax dollars-- are going to citizens of other countries whose parents pay nothing. Especially if the resource is very valuable and scarce (e.g. a seat at TJ).[/quote]

You mean the Koreans and Chinese wouldn't let Americans take advantage of them the same way?

The foreigners are obviously abusing the system and sealing TJ's fate.  There should be an audit.

There are frequent audits.  But since most of the crap on this board is just plain false not much happens.

Almost all the asians (mostly Korean and Indian) are born & raised here.  They do culturally value education above all else and it shows on the standardized tests.  As a pink guy I'll push my kids to do more rather than knock others down for trying too hard.  Really, what's so bad about studying hard and doing more than the minimum required?  [/quote]
