[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The world is too interconnected now, there is less and less shielding of the special kind of privilege (ie just happen to be born in the US and growing up MC or UMC) that those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s enjoyed and still expect. Tech has destroyed the relative isolation that afforded that privilege, now we and our kids have to face the same kind of stressful competition for limited resources that is more or less the norm in other parts of the world.[/quote]

Exactly. We are heading to SK. Crazy entrance exams, stressing to get your kids into the right schools, no chance to date or marry unless they make enough money to earn a spouse. We will have plummeting birth rate because who wants that for their kids?[/quote]

Korean American here. I’m so glad my kids and I were able to grow up in the US. I listened to this podcast. I guess I participate in this intense parenting but my kids are thriving and I expect them to do well in life. I have 3 kids and they all do well in school as a given and we support them in their various interests. I often remind them how lucky they are to live in America.[/quote]
