[quote=Anonymous]I'm not Asian, we don't do worksheets, and even though my kids are very smart in some subjects they will probably be lucky to get into state school someday but I think they'll end up doing well. We do have Asian friends and they do raise their kids differently. I don't think its tons of worksheets but an overall focus on behavior and academics.

Music classes early and lots of rigorous practice. Moms always pre-teach the curriculum and make sure that the child has practiced it multiple times before seeing it in school.
If the child makes a mistake on homework or in the worst possible situation a test the child must practice and repeat it multiple times. Chinese school on at least one if not both weekend days.

Swimming class is the only sport allowed. No playdates or birthday parties. No TV. Playtime involves reading or educational toys only. Home environment is very organized, clean, and sparse.

The attitude is that it is not about whether you were born smart or gifted. This doesn't matter. Perfect grades is achievable if you work hard enough. If you don't do well, it is because you are lazy and did not work hard enough. [/quote]
