Another attitude that differs among cultural groups is what it means if you need help with an academic subject.
I’ve noticed that among Asian kids, there seems to be no stigma about needing parental help or even formal tutoring. But among other groups, this might be considered a sign that the child is not academically talented.
We’re white. When my daughter was in 8th grade, she wanted to apply to a selective admissions IB program in our school district. My husband was very much against it because he thought she would not be able to succeed in such a program. Why? Because she had asked me for help with homework many times, and I had provided it. He felt that any child who ever needed help with homework did not belong in any type of advanced program. I don’t think an Asian father would have viewed this situation in the same way.
