[quote=flu]I don’t get some of you folks. On one hand, some of you argue that the decline of the education is due to immigrants because immigrants pull the curve down. On the other hand, some of you also argue that certain immigrants are making schools overly competitive to the point that you don’t like the schools being so competitive for your own kids. So which is it?????[/quote]
Both 🙂
The former is worse, though. I don’t want my kids in the same class with kids who are incapable of learning and therefore occupy themselves with distracting the kids who do.
I also don’t want my kids surrounded by the product of tiger moms (who, IMO, are sacrificing good childhood memories for a slightly increased chance at later success, which is APPALLING), damaging their self-worth because I refuse to make them endure 6 hours of homework and music lessons every night.
The only answer is segregation! But seriously, I have an answer for myself (pick the district that suits me), but those with lesser incomes don’t always have that choice.
