The US is ahead of PRC for suicide rates right now. According to wiki, US is #34 and PRC is #103. :eek: That's overall, mind you, not just students.

I've just created a new thread dedicated to Vicky Zhao Wei by poaching the posts above from the Tiger Mothers and FOB Moms thread. There are surely other mentions of her on this forum, but I'm not...

They have tigers in India too.

While there are some lessons in overloading students, it's more about quality than quantity. That's my take as a parent. But maybe I'm a Cat Dad.

Population pressures are their own one-child policy.

Those are some serious jump rope welts...And of course, the kid is going to run to her, else he get another lickin' :mad:

I was tempted to post this on our zombie thread, but decided it would be more topical here. I've been in contact with Roger Ma. He was kind enough to forward us a copy of his book. It's quite...

Do you have kids? I have one.

And Syn7, I hear what you're saying but I disagree. Being a parent is something you learn by doing. There's no way you can learn the tricks of the trade...

Shoot, now I'm thinking we should do a tiger mom article, just to coattail on the press. I'm sure I can find a tiger mom stage parent. In fact, a few come to mind immediately. The question is if...

I hear what you're saying, Syn7. In China, if you're poor, you don't get the opportunities to even take violin or piano. But the parents might still demand the world of you. It's a privilege to...

It should be noted that Chua and Rubenfeld are very successful people and are capitalizing on the buzz very well.
