For American public education, 2015 was a dismal year, at least by the numbers. But don't blame the kids. Parents are missing in action.
Except most Asian-American parents. They tend to oversee their children's homework, hold them accountable for grades, and demand hard work as the ticket to a better life. And it pays off. Their children are soaring academically. The outrage is that instead of taking an example from these Asian families, school authorities and non-Asian parents want to rig the system to hold these strivers back. It's happening across the nation.
