Asian parents give a shit whether their kids show up for school.
- thatguy0900 4y agoDown voted for this but it's really a reality. Talk to teachers, if the parent doesn't value school then it takes a truly exceptional kid to direct themselves through it.
- Jcampuzano2 4y agoAnecdotal of course but I believe this is very much true. I'm Latino if it matters much. I'm the oldest of three brothers and was the one who was most pushed/expected to excel in education. My parents became a lot more lax on my younger brothers because they thought they pushed me too hard growing up. I think they changed in part because our relationship was very strained as I was growing up and even today isn't anywhere near as close as my two siblings are with my parents. But on the other-hand, we're all adults now and I am the only one to graduate college and have a career in a typical "high-paying" profession/job. I don't fault my brothers for this and am close with them, but it is pretty stark the difference in career path/"traditional success" between the three of us simply based on this emphasis/value.
- outworlder 4y ago'asian' parents from which country? They are not all the same. It's a huge chunk of the planet.
- cuteboy19 4y agoBut it is true. Chinese and Indian people have nothing else in common but their parenting styles are the same. Historical accident maybe, but it's true
