In collaboration with the National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education, the College Board released “Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders—Facts, Not Fiction: Setting the Record Straight,” a report detailing why false assumptions can lead to misinformed policy and practice that can be harmful to AAPI students.

That is an interesting article indeed. One of the take-home message is: Even though Asian Americans are better educated and enjoy better income than whites on average, but there is a greater disparity (wider gaps) in both measures than whites.
Why?
It would seem that we Asian Americans do not do well as a community. I would think the underlying reason is the lack of a cohesive force, such as an organized religion, to bond us together. - Re: Report on 'Model Minority’ Stereotypeposted on 06/11/2008
A very good report.
But I don't see 81's information in the report. Are you putting a new fiction here for them to do the research?
A Chinese parent told me, in our local good schools, although Chinese kids are doing extremely well in middle school, it's hard for them to stay at top in high school. There must be something wrong. - Re: Report on 'Model Minority’ Stereotypeposted on 06/11/2008
Why? You had one group going to schools and another going to kitchens, which made all the differences, basicly.

Because, the numbers are an average of AAPI, not simply Chinese. If you separate them into Chinese and other subgroups, you would see the numbers are more consistent.
I know other peoples from Asia, south Asia have been complaining over decades that they are lost in the statistics. In the shadow of the model minority, they are still living near the poverty line, but are ignored.
