New Jersey，sent parents an alarming 16-page school district,he said,was facing a
students were overburdened and stressed out,having to cope with too much work and
too many the previous school year,120 middle and high school students were
recommended for mental health assessments and 40 were on a survey
administered by the district,students wrote things like,“I hate going to school，”and“Coming out
of 12 years in this district,I have learned one thing:that a grade,a percentage or even a point is
to be valued over anything else.”
[B]With his letter,Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District into
a national discussion about the intense focus on achievement at elite schools,and whether it
has gone too follow-up meetings,he urged parents to join him in advocating a whole
child”approach to schooling that respects“social-emotional development”and“deep and
meaningful learning”over academics alternative,he suggested,was to face the
prospect of becoming another Palo Alto,California,where outsize stress on teenage students is
believed to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.
[C]But instead of bringing families together,Aderhold's letter revealed a divide in the
district,which has 9,700 students,and one that broke down roughly along racial one
side are white parents like Catherine Foley,a former president of the Parent-Teacher-Student
Association at her daughter's middle school,who has come to see the district's increasingly
pressured atmosphere as opposed to learning.“My son was in fourth grade and told me,‘I'm not
going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume，”she the
other side are parents like Mike Jia,one of the thousands of Asian-American professionals who
have moved to the district in the past decade,who said Aderhold’s reforms would amount to
a“dumbing down”of his children's education.“What is happening here reflects a national
anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the future，''Jia said.
[D]About 10 minutes from Princeton and an hour and a half from New York City,West
Windsor and Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology
entrepreneurs,researchers and engineers,drawn in large part by the public the
last three graduating classes,16 seniors were admitted to produces Science Olympiad
winners,classically trained musicians and students with perfect SAT scores.
[E]The district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China,India
and year,65 percent of its students are Asian-American,compared with 44 percent in
of them are the first in their families born in the United have had a
growing influence on the -American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the
competitive instrumental music have been huge supporters of the district's
advanced mathematics program,which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the
change to the program,in which 90 percent of the participating students are
Asian-American,is one of Aderhold's reforms.
[F]Asian-American students have been eager participants in a state program that permits
them to take summer classes off campus for high school credit,allowing them to maximize the
number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take,another practice that
Aderhold is limiting this school many Asian-American children attending
supplementary instructional programs,there is a perception among some white families that the
elementary school curriculum is being sped up to accommodate them.
[G]Both Asian-American and white families say the tension between the two groups has
grown steadily over the past few years,as the number of Asian families has the
division has become more obvious in recent months as Aderhold has made changes,including
no-homework nights,an end to high school midterms and finals,and an initiative that made it
easier to participate in the music program.
[H]Jennifer Lee,professor of sociology at the University of California,Irvine,and an author of
The Asian American Achievement Paradox,says misunderstandings between first-generation
