Lee Gunderson: Prof Lee

Dramatic Differences Dept: That was one of the findings of a University of B.C. study by education Prof. Lee Gunderson, who has been examining trends among immigrant students in Vancouver public schools for more than a decade, according to Vancouver Sun. "We found dramatic differences," he said in a recent interview. "It breaks the myth of the model minority." Mandarin-speaking girls are four times more likely than other Asian students to get good grades in high school, while Cantonesespeaking boys are four times more likely to struggle. Gunderson said his latest study examined the stereotype that Asian students are all high-performers by comparing Grade 12 marks of groups that speak Mandarin, Cantonese and other Asian languages. As reported in the news.
