^ Please, I think you need to chill and quit with your outrage to my calling him out. He knew what he was provoking when he wrote what he wrote. I already said what he was inferring. Theres no defense for it, you cant defend it, so dont bother with your bullshit comparisons of Deerfield and Harper High. Fragile ears, please.

I made a legitimate comparison of asian groups because it is far more realistic and applicable and presents a clearer perspective on why certain students of certain backgrounds perform better than others, and why it has to do with culture and parental, student and societal expectations.

And wtf, parental expectations have nothing to do with it? What do you know? Are you a parent? I am, I have a child in CPS. Our expectations have everything to do with it. If you expect a child to do well, you will go out of your way to provide the time and resources for them to do well to the extent possible. Obviously poor parents have a disadvantage in that and thats why they can use all the help they can get from the schools, but unfortunately the schools dont have that type of time or resources either.


The rest of your post I dont disagree with, and no where did I write anything contrary to the idea that parents play the biggest role.
