Its a false comparison

Stuyvesant high school is NY’s ELITE high school

For example 19 (!!) Stuyvesant students were admitted to Harvard, 15 to Yale, and a whopping 58 to Cornell in 2020. And that’s just three Ivies — over 250 students were admitted to Binghamton and Stony Brook, top NY state public schools

Getting their kid into Stuyvesant High School is a life-goal for parents, particularly Asian ones.

Many kids there are already taking advanced math - so a course on financial literacy is simply a “fun” elective.

So its all about CULTURE, FAMILY and CONTROL OF PARENTS OVER BUREAUCRATS at school.

The same problem we see with education, over and over again with regards to education

That's a fine assessment, but as the story states, many students are taking this for no credit.

And they probably still can’t tell time on an analog clock.

Not anymore. It is now a school with a forced diverse population. Getting into ivys not hard from that school if you are at the correct melanin level
