[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, Asians are better at parenting.  I am basing this theory on years of experience in the classroom.  I've had intelligent and not-so-intelligent Asian students, but ALL of them have been hard working, disciplined, polite kids who never cried, whined, or suffered bouts of inattentive antics in the classroom.  I don't think this is due to genetics, but to whatever cultural mores and values these kids' parents instill in them.  The parents are demanding of their children, and of the teachers, but they are respectful and don't tolerate nonsense, and their kids are a delight to teach.

Cute post.  You like the end result, but the majority of posters here would balk at the idea of parenting the way Asians (and other high performing immigrant groups) do.  [/quote]
Which is?[/quote]

I think for old school Asian parenting, the focus isn't the kid's happiness, but rather making sure the child grows up to be a successful, economically-comfortable member of society. With the mind that happiness or contentment would be the byproduct of this successful, comfortable life. So less focus on making the childhood fun and magical, more emphasis on the child getting ready for adulthood.

I am Asian brought up the 'old school' way - I try to strike a balance. [/quote]
