I thought that was a GREAT article! One that we all can learn a lot from. About having high standards. The U.S. is way too politically correct now and we need much more tough love in our society like that. We got soft in the 1960’s with the rise of political correctness.
What I also like about it is…Chinese mothers don’t make any excuses like the usual far left garbage in the U.S….no excuses like “we need more Gov funding”, “we need more hand-outs”, “we need more affirmative action”. Their success is from a four letter word, called WORK. Hard work. Sacrifice. And it’s from PARENTS INVOLVEMENT with their kids, not relying on “Government funding” or “Government programs” to make their kids do better in school.
Asians are 4% of the U.S population but 25%+ of the Ivy League enrollment and 25%+ of the medical school classes in the U.S. UC Berkeley (and UC San Diego) would probably be 80%+ Asian if they got rid of affirmative action and went purely off test scores and grades. I always thought this as a great counter arguement to the a lot of the mumbo jumbo that the U.S. system is skewed towards white males and minorities get the shaft. That statistic shows hard work, not race is the key ingredient in success in the U.S.
