famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group
Who are the best students in Canada? Last year , the Canadian [1] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group made a study of students in secondary schools and I read about the findings of the study in a Canadian newspaper about a [2] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group ago . You might expect that the best students are sons and daughters of rich white engineers , doctors or lawyers . Not so . Surprisingly , many of the top students in Canada are Asian and come from families that donīt have a lot of money or education . During the last thirty years , a lot of people from Hong Kong , Vietnam , India , Pakistan and other Asian countries have come to Canada to live , and their children have done extremely well in Canadian schools , in many cases better than white children , and better than blacks as well . So in todayīs Canada it is often true that a child whose grandfather was a simple [3] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group in India or China gets higher marks than a white Canadian child whose parents are rich and highly educated . Does this mean that Asians are more clever than European and African people? Clearly , this cannot be true of every Asian person . Some are intelligent and some are not . But when you consider Asians as a [4] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group , it looks like the answer might be yes . The [5] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group in the Canadian study show that 35% of all Asian children in Canada are high level students but only 25% of white Canadian children are at the same high level . In other words , the study seems to be saying that the average Asian is more intelligent than the average white person . However , some people donīt believe that Asians are born smarter than other people . They argue that Asians just try harder . Itīs true that when [6] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group come to a new country , they work hard to be successful . And everybody in Canada knows that Asians are hard workers . They are [7] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group for it . For example , if you need fruit or vegetables late at night , you can always go to a Chinese or Korean [8] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group . Their shops are open 24 hours a day , even during holidays! These new Asian Canadians have high [9] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group for their children , and they encourage their children to study hard . So maybe this explains why their children do so well in Canadian schools . Probably , the best way to explain the high marks in Asian Canadian secondary students is to accept both sides of the argument . Asian children do well in school because they are born with a small advantage over the rest of us , and because they get a lot of encouragement from their parents . And [10] famous farmer figures finally foreigners fortnight goals government grocer group , I should mention another interesting finding in the study: No matter what the background -Asian , black , or white - girls were found to do better in school , on average , than boys . So now people are asking the same question about girls: Are they born smarter or do they just try harder? --based on an article in The Globe and Mail , Feb . 18 , 1995 Name :
