One blustery winter morning, I tour a preschool for my then-youngest child. The director, a petite woman with light brown hair, greets me warmly in the foyer, hands me a pamphlet describing the classes, the curriculum, the school’s philosophy. At the end of the tour, she asks if I have any questions. I shake my head, thank her for her time, and open the glass door to the parking lot when she calls out in a cautionary tone: “This area has changed quite a bit in the past few years. It’s really, really different.”

I’ve heavily researched this suburban dream of a town, analyzed pertinent school and safety statistics. Her hesitation doesn’t reflect the fruits of my labor.

“How so?” I ask.

Her lips disappear into a thin line. “It’s just, you know, changed.”

I ask our neighbors, point blank, why they are moving.

Nora’s good at math. There are too many kids here good at math. They’re affecting her self-esteem.

Asian parents take their kids for extra tutoring. It’s not fair for the “regular” kids.

The high school is too competitive. My kids won’t get into a good college because of all of the Asians.

I want my children to grow up in the real world. This is not the real world.

I'm all for being smart and working hard, but there's always a line that crosses into mental illness.

Lyle McDonald wrote a great (and LONG) piece on why the USA sucks at Olympic weightlifting.

One of his reasons is because of how weightlifting is trained in other countries, which he illustrated using Bulgaria as an example. Bulgaria has been a highly successful country in O-lifting.

Of course, what Bulgaria essentially does, is hand pick tons of kids with great aptitude in the sport, dope them up, and train them non-stop. This has two results. First, TONS of lifters get BTFO and can never lift again, because of a combination of drugs and overtraining. Second, those who survive, tend to be outstanding lifters. Bulgaria doesn't really care about the 90%, because for them it's not about how many lifters are wrecked, but how many medals they win at the Olympics from a small pool of athletes.

The USA, of course, is completely different in its training approach.

I don't necessarily see why it's per se hypocritical for suburban whites to want safe, academic-oriented schools, on the one hand, but eschew schools that have tons of mentally-ill strivers, on the other hand. I certainly think it's reasonable for parents to want their kids to study and learn, but also for them to opt out of the studying arms race.
