[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some (white) folks on DCUM are really truly awful. If a Black or brown kid doesn't do well, it is because their parents "don't value education." But if a first generation immigrant kid of color does well, it is because her dad volunteers at the school too much. My G-d. [/quote] You have to value education just the right amount and just the right way. [/quote] It's the "American way is the only way" mentality. That father *clearly* values education and wants what he thinks is best for his kid. He is willing to put that effort into it. Doesn't matter if he's an immigrant or not. If most American parents could put half the amount of effort into their kids' education as this father does, I bet kids would be doing a lot better in school. I am not saying every parent should be like that father, but we need more parents who care about their kids' education, not less, and mocking such a parent is not helpful. [/quote]
