[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My Asian friends parents sent them to Cram schools in summer. They actually request the books for next school year then spend 40 hours a week all summer studying. They had pros helping with Essay, SAT tutors. Many their focus was just homework. And they worked as a group helping each other. [/quote] This still happens, including "Saturday school." [/quote]

That’s called hard work. Not “legalized cheating.”[/quote]

No that is not "hard work". Only "certain people" think of it that way. Colleges want to find unicorns with the SAT not somebody that studied and studied and studied for it. [/quote]

However colleges may see it, it is still hard work and dedication.[/quote]

I don't see it as hard work. I see working as a janitor in the morning before school starts, or working all night at a restaurant, or doing construction, caring for you 3 siblings and your sick mother ... hard work.

Do you know what you are even talking about? Spending time to work, read, and to study while others play is definitely hard work. And in case you didn't realize, Asians very often hold down jobs and care for siblings while studying, especially as many are recent immigrants with 2 working parents.

Reading a book and filling in little, tiny bubbles is not hard work. It does indicate somebody that is unable to speak for themselves, does not follow their passion and are afraid of their parents. [/quote][/quote]
All is hard work, some may be by necessity, some optional. The jobs in the first paragraph should be considered. Didn't the Mother Jones article say applicants are not given points for jobs, though? I believe that SES diversity should be and is considered. [/quote]

Stop saying it's "hard work"... studying is not hard work. [/quote]
