For me and my entire generation, it is simply a way of life. We are pushed to do our best so that we do not regret anything when we're older.<br /><br />Think of it as a lifestyle and culture decision rather than 'torture' or 'abuse'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-26176654410130241452011-01-16T12:58:04.841-08:002011-01-16T12:58:04.841-08:00They probably wont let your son who is black contr...They probably wont let your son who is black contribute(boardroom, politics, country club) unless he is undeniably above average, even more so if it's a woman .Harden your heart man there's only a short window where you can truly influence a generations future ,acting Asian/Chua may not be ideal i wouldn't mind black educational and<br />economic attainment on par with Asians.

However, it's a wide-open world and the Chua mindset should not define the ideal. She is an extremist and her children are missing out on experiences that will define their adult contributions, happiness, and success.James C.

If anything you should act Asian he may hate you but your not friend if you fail him you no one else will help.

I also don't understand how/why the father allows it. Maybe these kinds of techniques work in a society where everyone is raising their children this way, but all her kids have to do is look around to see that they're being brought up in a way that is very different from their friends.<br /><br />I feel very sorry for their daughters and won't be surprised if they grow up with all kinds of psychological issues and strained (at best) relationships with their parents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
