[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, people on here claiming to be children of immigrants. Were you tutored as a child or attend prep courses? What type of schools did you attend as a child? Were the schools you attended deemed inadequate? For example, have Koreans always forced their kids to learn excessively? Is this a cultural thing? Americans, in general haven’t needed to do this, maybe we are all a bunch ignorant slackers? Should we all be studying and prepping for the majority of the day?[/quote]
I emigrated from the former Soviet Union and my parents and grandparents were extremely unimpressed by the math curriculum at my very good public school. This was before Russian School of Math existed, but my grandmother was a retired math teacher and she spent some time teaching me more advanced material when I was in elementary school and junior high.

My grandmother and my parents were not as strict as most of my Russian-speakong friends' parents, and I was a lazy kid, so I did not wind up spending much time being tutored. But my grandmother also had other Russian-speaking tutees who put in much more time and took it much more seriously.[/quote]
