Interesting and honest article written by a Chinese mom, Amy Chua of The Wall Street Journal, who notes that other Asian cultures share similar values.



Here are some things my daughters … were never allowed to do:
• attend a sleepover
• have a playdate
• be in a school play
• complain about not being in a school play
• watch TV or play computer games
• choose their own extracurricular activities
• get any grade less than an A
• not be the No. 1 student in every subject except gym and drama
• play any instrument other than the piano or violin
• not play the piano or violin.
