It was interesting hearing about Asian and Indian parenting styles and then comparing that to Western parenting styles.
Ok not to be a huge pain and possibly a splitting headache to some....BUT as I was looking through the book to find quotes for my essay topic I found an error on the quiz we just took. Part two: The Quiet Crisis Matching: #4 "Our culture is geared for fun and school is boring" SHOULD BE answer b: The Education gap at the top NOT answer d: Numbers Gap. This proof is on page 352, the very last sentence of the first paragraph "THE CULTURE NOW IS GEARED TOWARD HAVING FUN" which is part of Dirty Secret #2 The Education Gap at the Top.
Now I believe we do not have any 100%ers in the class (in theory if we were to count this error.) By the way, this doesn't make me 100% with this answer....just thought I would point it out to those 3 that are left that they too are not 100%ers either. Darn it anyway.
