Imagine what it would be without all the Asian students.

I taught for many years in an urban school district. About 5% of the students were Asian. They were amazing, every last one of them.
Side story: One of my Asian students was a day late turning in a lab report. No big deal. It’s only a 10% penalty. So instead of getting his usual 100%, he got 90%. Still an A.
But I was curious. He had never turned a report in late before. Why now? As it turned out, his Asian family had a policy. Older students like him had to help younger siblings with their homework before starting their own. And his younger brother was having a lot of math trouble that day.
So my student just didn’t have the time to do his own homework that evening.
(Yes, I did feel a little guilty having to subtract that 10%.)
