[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]
I feel  like not *that* long ago, many American parents parented this way, too.  The more "modern" way of parenting seems to be  more permissive.  You see many parents being disrespectful of teachers, and just disrespectful of other people in general. It's no wonder that their children are just as bad.

FWIW, my DH is white, from the UK, and is much more old school.[/quote]

It amazes me how many parents make excuses for their child or put the issue back onto the teachers when we contact them regarding misbehaving students. Turn back the clock ten years and I would have never had the number of rude, disrespectful, defiant students that I have today. I’m not talking about being a little chatty or off task. We are seeing behaviors that majorly disrupt instruction with few if any consequences for the disruptive students. Contacting the parents only makes things worse.[/quote]
