[quote=Anonymous]Think about the type of parents who push their kids like this. What are those parents like? Generally they are successful in their careers/have prestigious jobs, are wealthy, attended top schools, etc. guess what? Their kids are statistically likely to be similar to their parents. Kids of wealthy parents are generally wealthy as well. Kids of parents w prestigious jobs generally go on to have prestigious jobs themselves. Is it because their parents pushed them or is it because they were genetically predisposed to be intelligent and driven people? Of course there are plenty of successful people who do not come from successful parents and plenty of successful parents who do not yield successful kids but generally your genetic makeup and the environment you’re raised in are more of a determining factor in future success than whether or not you took math tutoring in elementary.[/quote]
