“Have you ever had an Indian, Korean, Chinese friend in high school and/or college? If you did, like I regrettably had, you will know that these group of people live for school and NOTHING else! These group of people do NOT know the meaning of fun and enjoying life and spend/devote their whole time to school work. They are NOT smarter than everyone else, they only spend much more time studying.”
Let me translate this for you. Parents of the average Asian, especially newly arrived in the United States, place great importance on education. They hold teachers in high esteem, whether the deserve it or not, and teach their children the same. They maintain close knit families, have low divorce rates, and teach their children that education is the most important thing in their lives. This is an example of parents involved in their children’s lives.
