The study ethic is probably the biggest cause of academic success.
A lot of white parents complain about not having enough time for extracurricular activities to build up college resumes. But most of their kids can read.
A lot of black kids complain about having homework, but cannot read.
A lot of Asian kids complain about homework, and Mom says shut up and get it done, cram school is in an hour.

Correct to all of the above. When you discuss these kids libs go nuts. They have no answer. How can Vietnamese(SE Asians) kids come into this country and in a few years not only learn the language, but win spelling bees? How do they do this in urban schools given up as hopeless? Libs say the problem is we don't spend enough on education. These kids give lie to that nonsense.

Education starts and ends at home. This is about culture. Not race or ethnicity. You allow me to spend a half hour in a kid's home and I will tell you what kind of student is present.
