David Brooks column on "Amy Chua Is a Wimp"
- laujen 16y agoInteresting to couple this article with the new data on test scores. If you missed that the test scores indicate that pairing like students US scores against International students produce similar results. Asian US students score about the same as other Asian students, etc. I have struggled with this debate for a long time: does falling US test scores mean falling US predominance? But that hasn't modified US start-up success or other factors. This article continues to paint a picture for me that despite the lower test scores compared to other nations, there are lots of actors that go into life-long success. Attention and memorization are just two of them.
