Battle royal in elite high-achieving schools

Battle royal in elite high-achieving school districts roots in Palo Alto, CA and Newton, MA. Now, it is West Windsor-Plainsboro NJ as in the New York Times two days ago. An obvious mindset divide manifests itself along the racial lines between white parents and Asian parents. WW-P school district in which my two sons attended for 13 years has accounted for 65% Asian American students. A recent reform advocated by school district superintendent with the goal to relieve the students' stress has faced a fierce resistance from most of the Asian parents. White parents prefer a more relaxed learning atmosphere without worrying about futuristic job or internship bias against their children. In the same breath, Asian parents ask for stellar academic performances from their children to counter-balance the perceived bias expected in their children's future career. No ending in this ethnic divide. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/26/nyregion/reforms-to-ease-students-stress-divide-a-new-jersey-school-district.html
