Wow...it sounds scary.... and the Asian kids thing well I am not suprised by that at all....cultural differences in the families approach to education.

I just keep thinking about it...what are they tryna say.....is it like the I-Robot thing.....makes me think about how technology and information is growing so fast and our ability to deal with it responsibly is not....look at how those hackers just attacking one person managed to almost shut down Facebook and twitter......

This video does make you think.... I actually have been more curious at to "why" the children of India or China are that much more brilliant the the power house ... U.S.A.???? What are they doing that we are not or obviously can't??

It almost makes me feel as if the U.S. is doomed for the future, that with our lack of future intelligence that we will, as a country, become invaded by a few men making some very dumb decisions!!

Hmmmmmmmm????!!!

I honestly beleive its a cultural difference in the family approach toward educating the children......its the MOST important thing to them all of them and because the parents are well educated they are able to push the children to be also.....I mean the pressure on the kids is non stop....from what i have seen here......they will do what ever is needed to make sure the kids do well...not just well....better than anyone else....

Hmmmmmm.... this is actually a topic that I may dig deeper into. How it iwll impact the future of the U.S. and how the personalities of these children vary from U.S. children.
