""Asian" parents start with the premisse that their children's self-esteem will build up with improving performance. "Asian" parents believe that nothing is fun until you're good at it. To get good at anything you have to work hard, [b]and as children on their own often do not want to work, they override their preferences. [/b]"Asian" parents see the academic success of their children as the result of successful parenting, [b]and failure in school is therefore not the child's (or the school's) fault but the parent's.[/b] "Asian" parents can order their kids to get top grades. "Western" parents can only ask their kids to try their best. "

In my experience, the bolded parts are very true.  Asian kids aren't given the freedom other kids have because Asian parents believe they know best.  Secondly, a child bringing home an unacceptable grade is seen as a mistake by the parent, rather than a mistake of the child.  Therefore, the parents become much more concerned about addressing the problem and making sure it does not happen again.[/quote]
