High academic standard high schools are the Asians version of travel ball.

They just study all the damn time. Indians too. When your kids are out playing basketball, gymnastics, jerking off to TikTok videos, they are doing extra homework.

I don’t think people should be demonized for not wanting to compete with foreigners all the time.
They're racially Asian, not foreigners by default.
An Asian family here for 3 generations is less "foreign" to the US than a white person who just got here from Ukraine.

This is how leftist Asians can be on top and still claim oppressed status.

Also realistic.
These high achieving Asian kids have very little life outside of academics and enriching their intellectual capabilities. Some of them go from sun up to sun down studying, getting tutored, and practicing. They don't have weekends free.
At my high school we have a kid who is a nationally ranked competitor for the math team. He's spent every summer since 2nd grade going to camps that enrich math team skills. He's also a concert violinist and attends coding sessions every evening. He also has maxed out how many AP classes he can take.
I can't speak for those who are actively avoiding Asian students for fear of academic competition, but if they have a reason to do so, then I don't blame them. I'd rather my kids have a more balanced life than one dedicated solely to school.

The Asian/Indian kids made my daughter's school cluster bearable. They were smart, polite, academically oriented, and well-mannered.
Same. And have very involved parents, which is great for classrooms. Probably overbearing with their kids at home, but present at school things and their kids were so engaged.
I welcome healthy competition in a classroom, I think it makes everyone who cares better. Key words are "everyone who cares".

My family gradually left over time because they weren't initially "wealthy suburbs" and eventually the COL became outrageous. I grew up in Palo Alto, CA with blue collar parents that worked at a lumber yard. We didn't leave because of Asians. We left because Big Tech made the town (and most of the region) untenable for the middle class.
A recent study of wealthy California suburbs finds that white families drift away from public schools as more Asian students enroll in them

The most comical Asian thing that has happened was when the media went full retard hard level on pushing stop Asian hate expecting that it just had to be white folks and if nothing else could get a couple white folks hurting Asians and blow that up into a huge controversy but yet, it weirdly never happened.
Every video of them being attacked was not even white folks and weirdly the push and videos have magically stopped.
The hate between blacks and Asians is real. And that is why it disappeared. They have polar opposite cultures and overlap in society a lot (neighborhoods, public transit, etc.)

Latoya posted stop asian hate and she was met with a shite load of racism from blacks in her comments.

How does this impact your kids though besides seeing another kid study more and show results from the studying?

Some universities consider class rank for college applicants. Also, diversifying acceptance rates for different high schools is a thing. I know at our high school, being in the top 50th percentile is a big deal. Pretty much gets your admitted to the state schools with a decent ACT score.
Some posters here discussed this issue in the state of Texas not too long ago. Particularly with who gets admitted to Texas.
I'm not sure of the details for OP's article. I imagine it's similar to a school suddenly getting an influx of high caliber athletes and your average Little Jimmy wanting to move to have a shot at starting on the football team.
Edit I think this is the Texas thing that was discussed. There's a law in Texas that if you're top 10%, you get admitted into state schools. Imagine an influx of kids making it impossible to be 10% unless you devote your life to academics.

We should make separate but equal schools for each race
Ironically there was a school in Illinois recently that started segregating classrooms for this very reason. For pure academic reasons it isn’t a terrible idea.

This is exactly why I went to LSU, could not get above 14% in Plano for this very reason. Hard to compete against Asians & Indians that spend all summer at tutoring centers. And no, “git gud scrub!” Is not a valid counter argument.

That would probably prevent conflicts between students

I don't think my nice private school even did that. I know it's a thing in Texas for state schools or UT or whatever, but I haven't heard much of that otherwise. Understood for Texas.

Well Jimmy isn't getting cut from math class because there are a lot of mathletes.

Just to clarify, that law guarantees admission to any kid in the top 10% of any TX high school (along with a very low bar for SAT/ACT). But it isn't the Asian kids you need to worry about as they would get in on merit anyway. It is the less academically prepared kids who went to an inner city school where the bar is much lower who are preventing more academically qualified applicants from gaining admittance.
As for the influx of smart kids, the real affect is the other kids are now getting a better overall high school education at these schools as the standards are being raised. I experienced this first hand in Sugar Land. My kids had no shot at top 10% (my genetics didnt help) but without a doubt, were more challenged academically than they would've been had they attended the less Asian centric high schools in the same district 2-3 miles away. They each said their first year at LSU was academically easier than their high school classes and both graduated college with honors.
