I grew up with Imus and Stern so I’ll blame them for all my non-PC observations.
Walking down my street I rarely see Asians outside. Asked Asian neighbor about kids and parents said its so bad once kids they turn 7 because they have to take them to piano lessons, soccer practice, study lessons, volunteer clinics at homeless and women’s abuse shelters, etc. I think I can hear parents screaming at the kids, probably for missing the C(4) note 13 minutes into the Piano Concerto No.24 in C minor. Another Asian down the block got 23xx/2400 on SAT. And the happy white kids are playing baseball, hockey and basketball in the street. Could be that the white kids are talented creative geniuses with photographic memories and don’t need to study 12 hours a day (in grade school) to be succesful like Jobs and Gates?
Most really smart people I knew in college barely did any home work in high school, let alone grade school. Ask all the rich people you know how much they studied in grade school – high school and you’ll find that they were playing wiffle ball, not reading Encylopedia Brown and Evelyn Wood books (Yeah flu, Wood, not Lin)
Anyway, all that studying/college prepping is way overrated because smarter people (managers) hire those hard working nerds from around the world (read commodity) for technical output while they create oompanies and/or move up corporate ladder making important deals at La Costa.
