Pacific islander and Asians are different. And within Asian, certain Asian nationalities do not do well in those statistics - mainly South East Asian.
In regards to the No Child Left Behind Act, a bipartisan act and not Bush's program btw, I think it does head in the right direction but that it is still not enough.
In regards to parents not placing enough emphasis on education, I believe that is a direct result of being uneducated themselves.
Even if someone's life goal is to clean pools, he deserves an education. That education will help him vote. That education will help him stay healthy. That education will benefit his children. That education benefits all and is really a right he/she deserves.
