To me its obvious what’s going on. I hope I’m wrong though, I am most of the time. But IMO somebody is rigging the school system: meaning all the “have nots” will be in public schools being taught useless knowledge of gender identity and wokeness , while the “haves” will send their kids to private schools for STEM studies. Guess who wins.
If this was all planned (for whatever reason)I applaud them for their undermining skills.
That's why they need to abolish the public schools completely and give families vouchers to send their kids to private schools. Government can give loans to talented teachers so they can pool up and lease the space in the sites that used to house public schools (with the infrastructure in place) or rent out office space to teach a small pod of students.
Academic success is pretty much the only way for Asian kids to move up in the US.
They have no chance in sports, performing arts, music...or just being a "good looking blond guy/girl" to be hired.
Most people no matter their race and gender, have no chance in sports, performing arts, music, or just being good looking and getting hired.

It's no conspiracy, but this will be the effect.
Eventually no one with means will send their children to public schools.
Actually I was well qualified to dis people over typos when I was in the sixth grade. Want an interesting experience try growing up the eldest child of two English Majors one of who is brilliant. Mother was the ultimate English Major. During her entire academic career from grade school through college, through graduate school, through law school, through an LLM in taxation she received all As but one C. The guy who gave her the C was a professor in NYU. She forced him to resign.

Like this, "mensch"? (A mensch, again, by your own self-assessment).
"Could have but I am a 1%. Suffering the unable is considered bad form. And yes I guessed what you meant. But why should I do that? Better to invite you to express your though in reasonable English"
I'm not sure you can claim your mother's successes as your own, BTW. That's bravado by proxy. Completely unearned.
Very few people can be a super star, but many can manage to be a low-level professional athlete or coach.
Nope, not even most D1 college players are ever going to the pros, let alone a majority of the population. Only on average 5% of D1 players any given year will turn pro.
Academics, employable skills, are the only way for most anyone regardless of race and gender, to get ahead, not just Asians.
A problem is, most policy makers in the US are not STEM majors.
If they studied math or engineering there would have been much less BS.
Absolutely
