Was watching doc on this, thought it was quite interesting. What do you think?? Of course this is US
I wonder how many academic high achievers..... had the 'tiger parenting' model ??
Tiger Parenting
These parents have extremely high expectations for their 6 year old boys (twins), days are filled with structure and discipline. Family is all about achievement, all the time. The kids go to a private school year round no breaks, followed by 3 hours of extra curricular such as chess and tennis. School fees $40,000 US pa.
Un schooling
These parents reject the idea of an organised approach to education. The parents follow the children's lead, not a curriculum. Un schooling as life learning, and learning from experiences, if a child has a passion, they can choose to immerse in that. Un schooling is about letting a child be who he or she is, learning through everyday experiences.
The next family A.
All about competition. Their son starts every morning with a 2 hour workout. Their goal is for him to get into the NFL. He is also a black-belt in karate. They are instilling physical and mental discipline into their son. They see it as a way to help their son become successful and beat the odds.
Family B.
Goal for their daughter is for them to become childhood star. Their 2 year daughter has entered and won pageants, and the one year old is just starting out. They believe that being pretty is an asset in this world, and places great value on it.
