[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually they are mostly white and Asian students, many of whom attended expensive prep classes to get into the selective MS. And in turn the selective MS send the most to the high schools. [/quote] The city provides free prep classes which is what these kids use. They are immigrants without a lot of money.[/quote] The City prep classes aren't as popular with Asian immigrant families as private classes. The City classes aren't as rigorous and start too late in the game. Asian immigrants usually start prepping the kids in the upper elementary grades. City prep classes don't start until 6th or 7th grades. 13:04 has no clue.[/quote] I went to Stuy as did all my siblings and cousins. We are immigrants but back then, 70s and 80s, kids did not prep to get into these schools. The city just started offering prep classes by the time I graduated:). So much more work nowadays! My parents would be pleased. lol![/quote]
