Hi Dal,
-> This brings to mind the Scientific American article of years ago that
-> profiled the achievements of the Vietnamese boat people's
-> kids. They were in the "ghetto" schools in LA that were castigated
-> for low achievement, etc. The kids were scoring extremely high
-> on the SATs and were receiving an excellent education. The
-> family's valuing and support of education was the determining
-> factor.
Thanks for the remark. Interesting related story.
As for the last sentence, as it relates to another thread that has been
ongoing in this conference, I wonder how the determination was made that
it was the family's valuing and support of education that made the
difference? (Rhetorical question. I don't expect you to know the answer
to that. FWIW, I agree that this can be the difference based on my own
personal experience.)
