<p>Apparently on “Glee” last year, they had a bit about a B being “an Asian F”. While an exaggeration, I think there is some truth to that. Most Asian parents have VERY high expectations of their children. I think part of this is immigrant mentality…“we moved to America so that you could have better opportunities, so you have to make the most of them”. (Remember again, that I am the immigrant Asian son of immigrant Asian parents myself.)</p>
<p>But here’s a link to some coverage of a recently published study that “Tiger Mom” parenting doesn’t work. Worth reading, IMO.</p>
