[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To quote the study, "The antecedent factor of family socioeconomic status and the propensity factors of student science, mathematics, and reading achievement by kindergarten consistently explained whether students displayed advanced science or mathematics achievement during first, second, third, fourth, or fifth grade." So this isn't about race, it's really about socioeconomic status of the family. [/quote] Even poor East Asians send their kids to get extra math instruction, per all the discussions of NYC's elite public schools. I'd say thats a cultural/racial issue and NOT a social economic one.[/quote] It's actually more common with lower-income Asians. We are UMC Asians (born here) and our kids are doing fun activities and classes.[/quote]
