I agree with PP. No child of Tiger parents I know has ever been unpleasant to me or my kids. Actually they're the better-behaved ones, because their parents make sure they are.

The bratty kids that I know are the ones running around with no supervision, or the singletons whose parents give in to their every whim.

Of course, I can only tell of my own experience (in Bethesda, MD), so it's all anecdotal!

I totally disagree with this. The tiger parents I know--affluent suburb as well--are concerned with success in school/music/sports and that's it--not character. In other ways, they seem to totally spoil their kids, baby them, let them run totally wild, and treat them like their opinions and whims are of more value than those of adults. I have seen these parents applaud disrespectful behavior as "independent." Like when the kids talk back to adults, they are praised for making themselves heard and for voicing strong opinions. I agree with OP and cannot stand it.

I will admit that I am surprised that these same parents, who let shocking things go behavior-wise, are extremely tough when it comes to academics. I suppose it's better to be strict about something than nothing. But I am very turned off by this trend.[/quote]

I disagree, too.tiger cubs and their parents are vicious and will do whatever it takes for their child to be on top. The kids pick up and emulate this behavior. [/quote]
