[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read "The blessing of a skinned knee". The author, a Jewish psychotherapist, has 2 daughters and they didn't seem to do anything extraordinary at home - they went to school, playdates, had one music lesson a week and some tutoring.[/quote]

True, but when you are surrounded by achievers, achieving becomes the norm, not an exception or something praise worthy.  Jews are extremely resilient people who do not make excuses for failure.  Heck 6+Million were exterminated, wiping out whole families and they carry on, hardly looking back. Never in history will you see a more beaten down people who just pick them selves back up, dust off, and carry on with success.

Same reason a WASP family would not praise their kid for graduating high school. It is a complete expectation. Most Jews just take it up a notch. We also have tight communities.

This is my experience as a non-Jew. I saw Jews promoted over non-Jews at my old very large law firm time and time again, and the people being promoted were obviously much less qualified. This actually was the case at 2 different law firms I worked at in NY and DC. [/quote]
