You may be disappointed to see this news: In recent years, more and more white American parents have sent them to cram schools to help their children get into a good junior high school, of which Chinese-run classes are the most popular. A few years ago, Elma Moy, from China, opened a cram school in Henry Street in Manhattan and started targeting Chinese student groups in Chinatown, but recently changed dramatically, according to the New York Times. It is now commonplace for white students to attend tutorial centres. But just five years ago, it was hard to imagine a tutorial institution with non-Asian students.

According to a statistic, in 2011, 97% of the students in the tutorial centres were Chinese, and now this figure fell to 70%.
