[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Totally. I'm kind of dismayed by how Asian moms are being portrayed through posts here. Too many sound like uptight and judgmental harpies. Glad to know there are Asian moms who aren't Amy Chua wannabes but who have kids who still do well.[/quote]

You're the one who sounds like a judgemental harpie. In fact you just nailed the snotty tone. I get very tired of the constant cattiness toward Asian moms in particular who focus on academics over sports and dance class. As a parent it is your choice to prioritize what you see fit. [/quote]

Are those the choices? You don't focus on academics unless you pay for tutors? If you don't focus on academics, you focus on sports and dance classes?[/quote]

No one is saying that if you do not pay for tutors then you are not focusing on academics. I do not know where you got that from. How we focus on academics, differs in each household. Some may teach their kids themselves, some may hire tutors, some may guide them to go on online resources. The point is that parental involvement in kid's education is a good thing.

I do not use tutors because I have been able to help my children myself. However, if someone uses tutors, coaching classes and camps or any other resource - why are people getting upset?  No one is stopping you from doing the same for your children. And if the cost is an issue - then too bad for you. Those who can afford to spend money on their kids education are free to do so.

The point the PP was making was that parent's prioritize and spend their money on what they want for their kids. Why their individual choices should irk some people amazes me. It is not as if they are buying illegal drugs for their kids!

For some parents sports, dance, music, theater, beauty pageants etc. are important for their kids.  It is their choice, their kids, their money!  You and your child is not being harmed by these choices.[/quote]
