[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this happens to people changing education systems all over. Kids switching from schools with APs to an IB program. Etc etc.

One thing I can say with confidence about living in America is that your kid's destiny is not going to be determined by when they take AP calc. You're living in Virginia. You have a BUNCH of very good, in state colleges to choose from.

If your kid is going to make it and be a success in this country, the schools here are more than good enough to make that happen even if you lose a year of course progression to switching countries.

The other adjustments your child is making to language and culture are almost certainly much more important to their future.

Your attitude sucks. [/quote]

"Adjustments to the language and culture" so you're assuming he's having difficulties in this aspect? English is taught as a required subject in his previous school and as for this culture you speak of, a culture where incidents such as drug abuse, drinking and vaping within the campus are not reprimanded as strictly? And can't you empathise with him? Imagine being downgraded or belittled in intellect and capability just because you're not the same ethnicity as them. that's the adjustment he's trying to overcome.

American parents who are unhappy with public school education send their kids to private schools.

You probably had your kid in private before he came to the US. Right?

The streets of America aren’t paved with gold and our public schools aren’t the best in the world, not even close, but they are free. So there is that.

If you don’t like free stuff, then find a good private and enroll your kid? Problem solved.

I’m a firm believer in the notion that you get what you pay for.

Plus this entire thread reeks of troll, but I do give it points for originality, asian parent, claiming discrimination because their kid isn’t getting model minority treatment, and no mention of Tj. Is this a literal trial ballon, AP classes are full of Asians, so can’t decry foul there, ah but are they full of recently arrived Asian immigrants???  By jove we’ve got our theory of the case.

No one is this obnoxious in real life. I seriously thought this was going to be a TJ thread, instead I got a weird incoherent post written by some random loony trying to sound intellectually superior, but missing the mark, while banging on about the rigors of and injustice of middle school.
