As Asians Excel at L.I. School, District Tries to Lure Parents from the NY Times.

The article talks about the challenges a NY School district that has become mostly Asian has attracting Chinese and Korean parents to school activities such as the PTA. I see this at my daughter' school some, but not with performances. Those are packed when the Orchestra lets the parents know about them enough in advance. Same day notice has issues...

At my daughter' school, the Chinese Parents Association is super organized and does a better job of serving the parents needs than any other group. From seminars on getting into great colleges to SAT score information etc. It's a shame the school does not provide this.
