[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't buy the 3 generations thing. Most UMC families I know are 3rd and 4th generation immigrants. [/quote] but a lot of them keep pushing their kids. [/quote] Not in the same way. We provide tutoring and let them know what our expectations are but we don't forbid them to go socialize or give them screaming guilt trips, etc. Having lived a life and seeing the end results of school and career choices I know it matters very little whether they get into Harvard or a lesser school. Harvard opens some doors but after that their work will lead them much further . [/quote] i am sorry your parents forbade you to socialize and gave you screaming guilt trips. i cannot relate to that, but i was pushed to perform and i am doing the same with my own kids. it works.[/quote] Ditto.
