He is the embodiment of what she speaks against in her article. Children are happy when they master something not when they are told that being average is okay. It's similar to not keeping score at a child's basketball game and giving trophies for participating. She demands her children excel and that will make them better adults.

I have seen the results of the Chinese way from my wife's family and the ones that push it to the hilt are much better for the effort.
