发帖数: 2071 | 1 在国内，很简单，大家拼高考（在拼完爹以后），所以自然是学校越牛越好，学习
气氛浓，抓得紧。可是在米国，我一般总是听说是SAT和GPA同等重要。
SAT嘛，老中的孩子都很高。
这个GPA，是一个相对的东西吧？一门课班里不能所有的孩子都得A吧？我记得做TA，
给A给B是有一定比例的。那么，如果学校好，里面全是老中的孩子，岂不是得A
变得困难了？我听一个升学顾问说，想上最好的学校，高中阶段只允许拿两个B。
API report上有分族裔的API。我发现事实上所有学校的亚裔的API都暴高，白人
基本上和最终API持平，墨墨API低。我在加州。基本上就是在拼到底是亚裔比例大
还是墨墨比例大。最好的学校API高因为有一半是亚裔。如果在一个学校一般好（比
如9分学校，或者将将10分），亚裔相对少，不是拔尖的可能更大些？
有没有孩子已经上中学或者高中的家长给讲讲，高API的中学/高中，究竟会不会对
孩子GPA有影响？ | w***t

发帖数: 347 | 4 I have two kids. They are 2 and 5.
In US, application to colleges is a portfolio job. You will need to know how
to package yourself. But I do not agree with the approach of lying. They
will lose a step in their future life even they could be successful at their
early life stage.
Your approach is a few Chinese parents are using now as GPAs do affect which
school you can apply. San Marino and Arcadia are not best areas for those
parents to choose as academic competition is very fierce. The worse part is
there is no diversity there. If you go to South Pasadena, it would be
different. But the houses there are more expensive and older. That is one
thing Aliso Viejo might provide.
In terms of pressure, I do think parents would play a big role in it. Just
before the graduation from my University ( I learned Math there), one of my
classmates was going crazy as he thought all the people are following him
and trying to kill him. He had too much pressure from his dad. We did not
know that until his dad came to school to get him home. He was the best
student in his class so his dad thought he should continue that start track.
Once my classmate could not catch up his dad's expectation, he was given a
lot of pressure to improve his academic scores.
And I still remember another classmate I have. After knowing the first test
score, he was singing when we left the classroom. I thought he was a genius
as he was very happy with his score. Later I knew he did not pass that test.
He was on himself without too much demands from his parents. He was very
happy to come to best school in China. So as long as he can get a diploma,
he was good. Plus, he believe he has other talents so he is very confident
with himself. Later, he married my other classmate who was second best girls
in my class in terms of GPAs.
We know our kids' friends will influence them a lot. But it is our parents
who can really help them if we want to spend time in studying education.
Personally, I do not care how much or how fast my daughter is learning now.
As long as she feels that learning is a fun thing too do, I am contended.
One more thing I want to mention is about private school. When I was
teaching in Irvine, one day I had a girl to study with me as she wants to go
to better private school. What amazed me is that she was not using
calculator to do calculation. I asked her why she did not use calculator.
She told me that her teacher does not allow her to do it. My goodness. I
cannot believe that. I told her that she was very lucky to have a good
teacher.
So with private school, you get good teachers, low student-to-teacher ratio,
more opportunities to see counselors and better networking environment.
Think about that will open more doors to us if we have to stay in some areas
where there are no good public schools. Even we do have good public schools
, we will give better chances to our kids if we are financially affordable.
But I am not saying every private school is good. I have seen a lot of bad
ones too. So as parents, we need to work on this.
Finally, it is hard for me to believe your kids will have a lot of
challenges if studying in Irvine. Their parents are very smart. Genes should
work.
If you read this far and feel my thoughts are helpful, I will welcome you

发帖数: 347 | 11 I created this club when I realized that a lot of parents like me would need
socializing with other parents alike to exchange information.
Unfortunately, the club did not take off although some posts took place.
A couple of challenges I can see:
1) LA is spread out. It is tough to get a mom in Thousand Oaks to connect
with the other one living in Chino Hills. They have to find people close by.
2) When people have kids, they are too busy to visit bbs. As this club is
created pretty late, it does not gain traction yet.
But I still want to continue my efforts because I believe other parents, as
well as myself, living in greater LA area will benefit from it if more
people are coming to discuss and meet. We need more blood to get this
community rolling. As far as I know, a lot of old ids are exiting LA forum
because they come to the new life stage with the coming of their kids. If
they can join and reignite their passion for socializing, all of us will
enjoy it.
Yes, we need more blood to promote and lead this group. We all live for
young as we want to see how our kids will progress in their life journey.
Hope to see your 阿宝 soon!

发帖数: 12988 | 12 What is the mission of your club? What do you want to accomplish there?
If you want to social with other parents, why not participating in your
school PTA and becoming volunteers in the school so that you get to know
your kids' friends, teachers and parents.
Good luck!

为大洛杉矶地区的父母交流信息和情感（教育，居家，医疗，投资，运动，艺术，聚会
等）
Thank you for your suggestion. I believe it is a good and traditional way to
know your local community. So I am doing this to get first-hand resources.
As Internet open more doors for us, we could capitalize on it to know more
about different world.

事实上我现在越来越觉得，好学区的最大好处是房价稳定，特别是在现在这种
房市里，还是好学区的房价hold的住。至于学校，和你一样，我的孩子也还小。现在
考虑高中貌似太早了。。。
儿孙自有儿孙福吧。It's their life. I will try my best, but I can't，
and not going to plan/prepare everything for their live.
