New Jersey School District Eases Pressure on Students
—
Baring an Ethnic Divide
A)
This fall, David Aderhold, the chief of a high-achieving school district near Princeton, New
Jersey, sent parents an alarming 16-page letter. The school district, he said, was facing a crisis. Its
students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much work and too many
demands. In the previous school year, 120 middle and high school students were recommended for
mental health assessments and 40 were hospitalized. And on a survey administered by the district,
students wrote things like,
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 far. At follow-up meetings, he urged parents to join him in advocating a
approach to schooling that respects
learning
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 lines. On 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.
amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume,'
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
his children's education.
not prepare our children for the future,
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 schools. From the last three
graduating classes, 16 seniors were admitted to MIT. It produces Science Olympiad winners,
classically trained musicians and students with perfect SA
T scores.
E)
The district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China, India and
Korea. This year, 65 percent of its students are Asian-American, compared with 44 percent in
2007. Many of them are the first in their families born in the United States. They have had a
growing influence on the district. Asian- American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the
competitive instrumental music program. They have been huge supporters of the district's
advanced mathematics program, which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the
sixth. 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 year. With 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 risen. But 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 misunderstanding between first- generation
Asian-American parents and those who have been in this country longer are common. What white
middle-class parents do not always understand, she said, is how much pressure recent immigrants
feel to boost their children into the middle class.

) or jobs at law firms,
children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have the same chances
to excel later.
I)
The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent
years as schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of
suicides. West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a teenage suicide in recent years, but Aderhold,
who has worked in the district for seven years and been chief for the last three years, said he had
seen troubling signs. In a recent art assignments, a middle school student depicted (

overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A+ , on a math exam.

language assessments in which students expressed suicidal thoughts.
J)
The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school honor and
Advanced Placement students reported feeling stressed about school

K)
Not all public opinion has fallen along racial lines. Karen Sue, the Chinese-American mother
of a fifth-grader and an eighth-grader, believes the competition within the district has gotten out of
control. Sue, who was born in the United States to immigrant parents, wants her peers to dial it
back.
achieve and be successful. The question is, at what cost?
36. Aderhold is limiting the extra classes that students are allowed to take off campus.
37. White and Asian-American parents responded differently to Aderhold's appeal.
38. Suicidal thoughts have appeared in some students' writings.
39. Aderhold's reform of the advanced mathematics program will affect Asian-American students
most.
40. Aderhold appealed for parents' support in promoting an all-round development of children,
instead of focusing only on their academic performance.
