[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Statistics do not lie! Look at Wooten HS-one of the best-choc full of Asians. Of course they are not all alike, but the do tend to value education and hard work-as a group, most are quite successful.[/quote] Asians in the US have an average IQ of 106 compared to 103 for whites, 89 for Hispanics and 85 for blacks. I'm sure hard work plays a role, but the main driver of their academic success is mostly just smarts.[/quote] Actually, some recent studies (done by Asian researchers in US) suggests that the reason Asians do well in the US, regardless of SES, is because they are clued in to what academic pathways and opportunities to pursue. They are clued in to it because all the other Asians they know are treading the same path. I think it is mainly cultural and hard work. Smarts? I don't know if it is a bigger factor than knowing the pathways to success. [/quote]
