The permissive White middle-class Americans Ms Chua scolds often wonders why things don’t come easy to them anymore. They think that being happy C students is enough; and that notwithstanding bad academic performance, American creativity and ingenuity will bail them out.
Think again… Apple designers and Google engineers are increasingly foreign born and trained. Corpoations will setup shop and hire wherever there’s a market and talent.
Locally, the home buyers in Carmel Valley, 4S Ranch and the more desirable neighborhoods, are foreign immigrants who are not C students.
Meanwhile Samsung is worth more than Intel and HP.
Yeah, being a C student is good enough. All the C students can compete to become CEOs. Well, those who don’t become executives can join the ranks of the angry and disenfranchised folks.

I stopped trying to explain. Because you know what, people have already made up their mind about something, thinking anything out of the ordinary is impossible. But, hey not really my problem…So in essence, I don’t care, so as long as they don’t come back to me as ask me to pay more taxes to fund their kid fvckups. Because chances are, I only have sufficient funds to fund my own fvckup, let alone someone else’s….
