[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find where high achieving immigrants hang out. Seriously - RSM classes, private music teachers, etc. Your kid will at least know another peer group with higher expectations. [/quote]

Yeah this. I find the standards of high income wasp types are sort of mediocre regarding academics and music.

haha... kind of true.

I moved out of an affluent area out west where there were not a lot of immigrants, and my kid was like the top top student -- reading chapter books by 4.  We did not push them.  They just loved books. No other kid in their class could read.  DC was in a group by themselves, and just read by themselves during reading time.

We moved to MoCo, and DC was not the top top student. There were several kids like DC.

Maybe it's just a west coast thing where everyone is much more laid back?

Rich people can afford to have their children be laid back. They have family money and connections to give their kids a great future. Immigrants don't really have that.[/quote]
