Have you ever thought about how the Asian Americans Education System was back then and now it has changed from then to now? Have you ever thought about why Asian Americans are more successful in school rather than any other minority? Asian Americans are a minority that usually comes from Asia that made their way into the United States and are now considered Asian Americans. The Asian American schooling system has definitely changed over the years, but some parts have also improved, as well as not improved and some things just simply stayed the same. There are alot of pros and cons of the education system changing throughout the years but it is still important on how the final result of the education system is.

In the book Introduction To Teaching by Don Kauchak and Paul Eggen put in “For example, in 1906, San Francisco established segregated schools for Asian Americans. Instruction was in English, which resulted in problems similar to those that Native American and Hispanics encountered” ( D. Kauchak & P. Eggen). With knowing this information from the textbook the struggles for the students to understand what is being taught when it is not in …show more content…

Which could make it harder on the students for them to be able to understand what is being taught. When Don Kauchak & Paul Eggen states in the textbook Introduction of Teaching “a federal court ruled that in San Francisco school system had violated the rights of the Chinese Americans students, and students who found their educational experience “wholly incomprehensible” should be taught in their first language if that language was not english” (D. Kauchak & P. Eggen). Basically Don and Paul are saying that they should be able to be taught in their language that they already know, instead of having to learn a whole new language of english while trying to learn the instruction of the topic that the teachers are trying to teach. Don Kauchak and Paul Eggen are surely right about how they should be taught in their home language instead of English if it isn’t English because he may be aware of the struggles that they could be having while going through a difficult schooling problem.
There are a lot of Americans today that believe that Asian Amerians are smarter than any other minority.

Lisa Delpit in Chapter 4 was questioning, What Should Teachers Do? Delpit was arguing as an educator that you shouldn’t force a child to speak English that’s from another country or culture. Constantly forcing the child will cause a gap in a relationship with the student; destroying confidence of learning and questioning or possibly even disrespecting. Instead of being too critical, Delpit states that you should learn the child’s culture/country to form a positive bond between the student and teacher. Some ideas that were given was creating a bilingual dictionary for both the teacher & student, having the students teacher each other language/culture, reading entertainment such as comic books, recording the students speak English to perfect

The dominant white people created the model minority ideal was created to oppress other minorities. The model minority insists that by working hard, one will achieve success in America without having to protest for equality. It is harmful because it often tells minorities that they should not bother to voice their opinions, instead, they should be able to climb up the ladder of success by themselves. Institutions have failed to let the public know that Japanese citizens were able to climb up socially because they were rewarded right after they served in the military during WWII. Therefore, certain Japanese Americans were able to further their education unlike most minorities that cannot afford education who are currently being told to wait until they are

I have chosen to do this reading response of Lee’s piece about model minorities. This chapter focuses on stereotyping of Asian American students and the affects that that has. This piece starts off by discussing how there are two main stereotypes of Asian Americans and those are: being the foreigner and the model minority. Next, the piece discusses how Asian Americans are not seen as authentic, which has resulted in modifications to try and achieve the “American” standard of beauty. I believe that the central argument of this piece is showing that stereotyping Asian americans is detrimental to their education and their identity.

Their economic success as a whole disqualified them as being part of the minority group. For example, Asian Americans may be more likely than whites to believe that hard work in school will be rewarded (86). Asian Americans was seen as the best recruit to come to America.

Meritocracy has good intentions such that progress is based on ability and talent rather than class privilege or wealth; however, meritocracy cannot be practically implemented into school education due to social differentiations. Our society has and will continue to consist of a myriad of races, ethnicities, and minorities. Immigrant students who are from an Asian cultural heritage will be accustomed differently than children born and raised in America. Therefore, when schools implement standardized testing via the sorting-machine model or the high stakes testing model, there may be disadvantaged

Currently, the population of people with Chinese descent in America reaches to 1.2%, which accounts to an estimated 3.8 million people. This all started with the Gold Rush, which let two completely opposite cultures that had never interacted before encounter their differences. The religious and cultural exchanges between the American and Chinese societies occurred with many difficulties of acceptance and tolerance, resulting in the diverse American society of present day. After differences between the two cultures were overcome, the Gold Rush opened the doors of exploration for many generations of not only Chinese immigrants, but all Asian ethnicities to follow. Many immigrants would later follow in their footsteps to find what America has to offer them.

Asian students perform as well as white students in reading and better than white students in math. Reformers ignore these gains and castigate the public schools for the persistence of the gap. Closing the racial achievement gap has been a major goal of education policy makers for at least the past decade. There has been some progress, but it has been slow and uneven. It isn’t surprising that it’s hard to narrow or close the gap if all groups are improving.

Racial inequality in education is predominant in black students and is perpetuated further by educators. A theory that explains this could be the “hidden curriculum” theory which conditions students to believe that their cultural backgrounds must be silenced to resemble the model white student. Studies show that training educators in cultural sensitivity and establishing trust between students and teachers allows students from varying cultural backgrounds to improve in classroom settings. RACE INEQUALITY IN U.S. EDUCATION Considered the “melting pot” of the world due to its high diversity, the United States has been renowned for the varying cultures and races populating the country.
