^^I think speaking a non-English language at home doesn't necessarily make you worse at English - empirical evidence, but some of the best English students I know don't speak any of it outside of school.

Perhaps in such households, although the language isn't spoken as much, but the work ethic of the kids more than makes up for it?

Also due to the fact that they are exposed to more formal English and less of the casual English that the English speaking students may get exposed to at home. For example so many skip mates use "should of" instead of "should have" because they're more exposed to phonetic garbage whereas the others have to rely more on books and stuff and so a larger proportion of the English that they are exposed to is proper.

I know so many people with parents who are from Europe originally, and they are all so chilled about school, i don't really know of any european parents who are pushy o_o

[Hutchoo]

Well, my parent's aren't pushy.. but if I don't get a decent result for something... they rage. D=
