I think thattt..Well, idk. This really just fulfills that stereotype lol.

Wow, this is pretty interesting.

I can't believe that principal (?) deducted that Asian kids are smarter just because of the change in demographics and exam results over the years... maybe the higher marks are really because of the improvement of technology and educators, or because the standards are set lower.

I do totally agree with the whole expectations and cultural differences thing though. And I really agree with that Hazel Markus too... I do feel pressure at times (I think most students do), but not to an extent that I fear my parents.

And I think it's just a crazy cycle. The stereotype of Asians being so good at math, or math-related subjects, is kind of a fuel for these kids to do better.

Or, you know... at least that's my take on this.
