[quote=Anonymous]Asian here. I do not see much contempt for hard work. Never experienced that. I am very familiar with Carol Dweck's work. I agree with her completely. But there is also a range. I see families who have coached the hell out of their kids. Worksheets upon worksheets of stuff. Their kids recite facts on World capitals, flags, spellings, simple math questions, science related facts, etc. It just rolls of their tongue. It also killed their individuality, they lose a certain spark that I have a hard time describing. Their raw intelligence has been stunted I think as a result of too much structured activity. Their personality decimated. The already introvert tendency in them amplified as free time, time with friends was de-emphasized. I realized this as by accident we had to live away from fellow Asians for many years after my child was born. I was so grateful for the fact that I did not fall into this cycle. [/quote]
