[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above post took a meandering mess. The point I am trying to make is that, there is a lot of things Asians can learn from Whites, including some very valid criticism on test prep, etc. and there are a lot of areas where Whites can learn from Asians like Math practice.

I agree that my preference is a more balanced approach between stereotypical Asian parenting and white parenting.  But I also don't think that extra schooling or academics are necessarily a bad thing.  With my kids, I take a very practical approach.  My kids can't control how much or how little effort other people's kids put into things.  The only thing they can control is how much effort they're going to put into something and whether the end result is worth it.  They will always encounter kids who are better with equal or lesser degrees of natural talent, because the other kid started earlier, is working harder, or is getting private coaching/tutoring.  That's life.  The solutions are to either work harder, too, or accept that you won't be the best.  [/quote]
