[quote=Anonymous]My mum used to get me to recite the multiplication table every morning on the way to school when I was 9! That was because I sucked at math, but I ended up knowing it pretty well :P I think in Asia, doing well academically is deemed more important than excelling in sports or music etc, so parents really place that emphasis and drum it into their kids' heads. There are parents who prevent kids from taking up extra-curricular activities until their school grades improve, and there're also parents who have a ruler in hand when the report card gets in...that's how much stress a kid can get.
