[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I have a friend who sends her kid to a school with a high Asian and south Asian population (not DC). She says it's really tough bc all the parents push their kids. And... My friend (and I) are Asian ourselves![/quote] Not all Asian parents push their kids. Stop reinforcing the false "Tiger Mom" myth that stereotypes all Asians. All caring parents want their kids to do well in school not just Asian parents. Asians are already attacked for being "too competitive academically, prep all the time, cut-throat, nothing but drones etc." because they out perform other groups. Sure some Asian parents may go bit far but not all Asian parents push and push. [/quote]
