[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to see the true potential of kids if they all lived at boarding school. Not an elite school. Just ones away from parents. No forced test prep, no thousands on tutors, kids decide the courses they take and how often they study. They are personally held accountable. I still think Asian kids would be strong, but what is happening right now. The kids working all hours of the night, prepping for weeks for standardized tests in ELEMENTARY school. It is just getting out of hand. Reading the college threads. The need for 4.5 GPA and almost perfect SAT just to get into state schools? It is crazy. It isn’t real. It isn’t fun. It isn’t what it should be to be a kid or a teen. Too much pressure and these magnet programs are like crack cocaine to some of these parents. And the kids are stressed, anxious, depressed, medicated, lack social skills, and have zero stree5 smarts or common sense. It is scary. [/quote] So, let's just get out in the open exactly what you are saying. Non-Asian minorities - they're all stupid and underqualified, so let's look down on them. they don't deserve anything. Asian - they're all over worked and stressed out because their parents are terrible, they don't deserve anything because they're not really happy. My white child - is just perfect and smart and I parent them perfectly. even thought they don't do as well or work as hard, because they must be overworked and stressed by those horrible Asian parents (while at the same time I howl for a strict meritocracy when it comes to URMs), my white children deserve to have all the spots in pick one: elementary magnet/middle school magnet/high school magnet/college of my choice. [/quote] That pp must felt really good. The self righteousness is mind boggling.[/quote] Not as self righteous as all the parents on these boards who simultaneously complain that URMs get spots without earning them and that Asian students are just mindless robots overworked by their parents. They get to wallow in their own smug superiority that they know how to parent and they’re kids are unjustly denied their rewards. [/quote]
