[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scare in the non-Asians is so palpable it is manifesting in the form of denigrating the Asians.  If you can't take the heat now just wait and see how hot t gets when your children get to be of your present age and the world they will live in then will be so different from the world you are currently living in.  Just think about how the world has changed since your parents were of your current age to the present time.  The rate of change going forward will be exponential due to technological advances and increased globalization.  If you want to bring up your children to give them the best skills to succeed in their lives, have them love and pursue with passion acquiring knowledge, developing skills and self-learning.  Bashing Asians may sooth your anxieties but it will only be temporary.[/quote]

Asians don't have the best skills. They simply have a cultural norm of slavish studying.

The people who really succeed in this world aren't the ones with the best test scores. Instead they are the creative thinkers. .[/quote]

Tiger Mom missed the memo on this fact.  An education is no guarantee of success in the real world, creativity and soft (people) skills are hugely important, but those are not things you learn in a book.[/quote]

First gen immigrant parents typically are more focused on economic stability for themselves and their children. This has always been true with Americans. Remember the line in the musical describing the young scrappy hungry Alexander Hamilton?  This is true with Asians. [/quote]
