<p>CUPKSDAD, can I assume you live in the states/Canada? If so, you’re situation is very different from someone in South Korea or China. We simply don’t have the same pressures put on us, as parents or children, as those in that part of the world.</p>
<p>To be clear, when I mean “Asian”, I mean those living in Asia and dealing with the challenges that come with that…</p>
<p>Parents in Asia, love their children as much as we do. However, they don’t have the luxury we do in selecting schools for “fit”. In Asia, far more than here, Education (at the right school) = social status=Financial Status. Education is a means to an end, getting into the right school and into the right social status. Getting into the right school (far more than how the children may do in school) will determine the kids future, and the parents are struggling to make it happen.</p>
