[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In hindsight whose kids are better off, strict parents deciding tutoring, courses, extracurriculars, majors and colleges OR easygoing parents letting kids making their own choices?

From what I see around me, first type's kids are into solid careers and making higher incomes. Yes, they were unhappy for some years but now benefiting from perks. Their parents also seem better off [b]not paying for expensive colleges[/b] and not having to subsidize lifestyle of liberal arts/humanities kids and their purposeful but low paying pursuits.[/quote]

Sorry, but your logic is actually not consistent.  The strict parents deciding on tutoring, courses, ECs are the ones that care the most about status and expensive colleges.  Now, many of these kids get a bunch of need-aid, so it isn't expensive on a net cost basis.

Your writing style makes me think this is actually you as you sound like an immigrant parent with a 1st gen kid.  You don't see TJ parents bragging about their kid going to average schools.[/quote]
