[quote=Anonymous]Many immigrant cultures emphasize school and studying because we escaped our homes for better opportunities. It is true that some immigrants are highly educated in their home countries. I am not Asian but was a white immigrant going to one of the magnet NYC schools back in the day. Yes, most of the AP classes were a mix of Asian and immigrant white kids. Poor, most of us were poor, b/c we were recent immigrants. But school was a priority. Just like it is for my kids now. As others have said, the vast majority of schools don't care about bright students who are not causing problems in class, so as a parent, I supplement.[/quote]
