[quote=Anonymous]I think people were harsh about it because Chua and her husband were very well connected people who hung out with SCOTUS justices, they were rich (she had bestsellers already), their kids were in private schools and would have been okay no matter what. There are a lot of tiger parents who people are more forgiving toward because to them it’s the only way out for their kids from the poverty they experience as uneducated (sometimes undocumented) immigrants and they sacrifice everything to give their kids piano lessons, test prep etc. Look at all the poor Asian kids at Stuyvesant. More than half of the Asian kids there are on FARMs. A lot of them also have tiger parents. [/quote]
