And any good student at Myers Park High can join the IB program, whereas at Randolph, you would need to enter the magnet lottery.
The results for the first round lottery are in and there is a waiting list at Randolph:
Interesting conversation. I understand the curiosity with lazi's observation and agree with ex-burgher's comments. I think it has more to do with the cultural difference for first generation Indians. It takes a long time for most of us to adapt. If you observe closely, you will notice that they tend to be more comfortable with the people who speak the same language as well (even among Indians). Unlike in US, India has different languages and different cultures and they tend to stick with their own, even when they are in a different country. I don't mean to generalize or stereotype any community, but I (born in India) have been asked about the same a lot of times, including my wife who is not Indian. It's always hard to explain
One thing I can tell you, if you introduce yourselves and have a conversation, usually they will open up as well. In general, I feel Americans can start a quick conversation with any other nationality, but others are a bit more shy unless they know you. Just my 2 cents
Your observation about Indians not maintaining their yards to the same level as Americans might have to do with the fact that lawns are very uncommon in India. It's considered a waste of time, water, and space. I think there's a lot of truth to that belief.

Very interesting. See, this is the kind of information I'm looking for. While I disagree entirely, I do appreciate your point and thank you for your comment.

Thanks for your comments. Very good information. I think the culture is very interesting and there is obviously a reason behind everything that the people in a culture do...just working to figure "Y'all" out. Thanks again.
Oh, and sorry for hijacking this thread. That was not my intent.
