--this is a re-post, I missed the quote--

And if you disaggregate the U.S. data, you find that our Asian kids perform as well as the Chinese/Singaporean/Japanese kids.

Yea they do, but only because they have ways to work AROUND the disastrous US educational system (like after school learning centers; formal Saturday Asian-only study groups, etc.) Do not, for a minute, give the US educational system ANY credit for their outcomes. It is strictly of their making, IN SPITE of what they have to put up with.

Asian children do so well in American schools because of Asian parents.
