Maybe Greenwich Students Should Act "Asian - y"
So That Test Scores Would Skyrocket

Greenwich Roundup Reader Writes.....


HERE'S NEWS FLASH!!!


If Hispanic students study more they will do better in school!! You can spend all the money in the world on a kid, if his/her family doesn't push study time and the kid doesn't study your wasting your time.....but like those kids were quoted saying in NYC "Hey why looking to act white"?

COMMENT:

Dear Gary,

Your comments are derived from a somewhat racist perspective.

It appears that you are confusing cultural identity with academic ability.

Gary would you say that," White Kids Who Act Black Or Like Hardcore Rap Music Are Bringing Down Greenwich High School's Test Scores?

Maybe our new Greenwich Public School Superintendent should mandate that all Greenwich Students K - 12 Should recieve one hour of instruction in how to act Asian, since Asian students score so well on tests at all grade levels.

Gary, do you really think that Hispanic parents are not telling their children to study and do good in school?

Just last week I say a young boy helping a lady take out scores of trash bags at an office building on Field Point Road, and I wondered if he was going to have to help his family put food on the table once school starts.

The problem in Greenwich is that well off and highly advantaged students often get as much as or more school resources than those children who are disadvantaged through no fault of their own.

The true shame of this town is how we treat the weakest, poorest and youngest members of Greenwich Society.

It is sinful how Multi-millionaires and Billionaires can sit in back Country and Waterfront masions and turn a blind eye to the inocent children of Western Greenwich.

What have Greenwich Billionaires like Paul Tudor Jones and Fddie Lampert done for the poor and disadvantaged children of their community?

Jesus Christ said it best ...

"I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

In a certain sense, I agree with Gary. These families keep their children out until all hours of the night. They are never on time for anything. I don't think it is an economic issue so much as a cultural issue. Children that don't get enough sleep, don't do well. Period.
