[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an Eastern European immigrant. We also push our kids academically: the reason is that education is a way out of poverty. Sure, the kid can ridicule the idea that education gives you success, but he's never lived in any other country and has no idea how people live around the world. Living in the US in many ways provides a privileged life, which is why so many people from poor countries want to come here. He has no understanding at all how he wouldn't make it in China with a more than a billion people around him. I think the big issue here (I watched the video) was that the kid is not smart (he said he knows his IQ and it's above average), so he was pushed over his limit. [/quote] Agree. But, I think a lot of these parents think that if you just work harder, you can do it. We try to judge where our kids' limits are, and push them to get there, and take academics seriously.[/quote]
