[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What in the world is Asian privilege ?[/quote]
Asian privilege refers to the advantages that Asian American students gain from their parents' strong commitment to education.

Whether they are white-collar professionals working in Reston or scraping dishes at a restaurant in Falls Church or washing clothes at dry cleaners in Herndon, Asian parents invest significant time and energy to ensure their children succeed academically. This often involves working long hours, taking on extra jobs, and sacrificing their own leisure time. In many cases, one parent—usually the mother—may choose not to work or quit her job entirely to focus on supervising their FCPS student, allowing them to concentrate on their studies.

The values of hard work, self-improvement, and a love of learning are instilled in their student from a young age, reinforcing the belief that education is the path to a successful life.  A parent might even forgo buying a new winter coat to save money for their children's Kumon fees.  All of this is motivated by the hope that their children will achieve better grades, gain admission to good universities, and ultimately break the cycle of poverty, creating a better life than their parents had.[/quote]

And?  Parents of any hue can choose to value education and sacrifice for their kids' future.  Embrace the "privilege" and stop putting down parents who care about education.  You can choose to put your time and treasure elsewhere, but stop complaining about others getting an unfair edge.  [/quote]

Whether it’s gymnastics, acrobatics, aquatic sports, or any form of athletics, the more support parents and family provide, the more successful the student will be!  [/quote]
