It is officially the "Year of the Rabbit" on the Chinese calendar. But better to be known in 2011 as "Year of the Tiger Mother."
Early in January, published by Yale law professor criticizing Amy Chua coddling parents in western style in the Wall Street Journal, "Why do Chinese mothers feel." Essay, a summary of the book "The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" - which details, among other things, as she raised their daughters in "traditional Chinese", with strict discipline and emphasis on academic success and music lessons, to primarily to prevent the TV, computer games, play dates and sleepovers - set out a media maelstrom. She was welcomed. She was reviled. Many parents wrung their hands. Chua great controversy about parenting, even reaching as far as the summit in Davos, said former Harvard president Larry Summers debate. Columnist David Brooks of The New York Times called a "wimp."
The hullaballoo prompted Valerie Ramey, Professor of Economics at the University of California, San Diego, to ask: What does the data?
Book Chua, said Ramey, struck a nerve in part because of the stereotype of Asian academic success. The statistics back up that stereotype. Recent academic test scores from the Program for International Student Assessment show that four out of five of the top-scoring Asian countries worst affected countries. (Finland is the only non-Asian). In California, Asians represent 12 percent of the graduates, but one third of all admissions at the University of California, and nearly half of all undergraduate admission to UC San Diego.
And why is that? They do better in school as a result, Ramey said, but with better financial results over the long haul: High school performance is an important determinant in admission to college and go to college but revenue rises significantly. Difference in earnings between college graduates and high school, must Ramey, has expanded since the 1980s, and recent U.S. Census figures show that Asians as a group more likely to have college degrees and household incomes are much higher.
To begin to answer the question of whether Asian parents and children differently, Ramey analyzed the American Time Use Survey. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Project, as measured by using the thousands 2003-2009 study time based on time diaries. It includes data on people aged 15 and over, and so just Ramey analyze the use of time for students and parents of high school.
