Disturbing?

Yes, kids spending their after school time doing homework and maxing test scores instead of having a childhood is disturbing.

Children and their parents exercising their freedom to do whatever they want is disturbing to you? Because some predetermined definition of “having a childhood” is not being met? I’m not arguing that this is the best use of their time, but neither is anything else within bounds of normal decorum.

Have u seen the average successful CEOs resumes like Zuckerberg and Gates about how early they got their private tuitions on programming? Maybe some ppl want those kinds things for their own children. Should they?

Have I lost my mind?

“kids spending their after school time doing homework”

Uh… what do you think homework is for? When is it traditionally done?

Have you ever done homework before???

I have to agree with the parent that "disturbing" is not an unreasonable feeling to have in regards to witnessing a cultural take-over when that culture has features that seem negative from the perspective of one's own culture.

(a) neither whites nor Asians are a "culture"

(b) kids sitting at cafes doing homework is not a "takeover"

(c) California was home to a bunch of Native American nations, who were then genocided by the Spanish. A bunch of foreign people, largely Americans, moved into Mexican Alta California (without papers!), mostly did not learn any of the local languages, and tried to start their own republic before being annexed by the US. There _have_ been takeovers here. Kids doing homework is not one of them.

(d) What's more disturbing, some Asian kids doing schoolwork or white people making sure that schools are more segregated now than they were before Brown v Board?
