My kid started his education from grade one in Canada. At the beginning, I helped him a little big with his English, guided him once in a while when he started learning new things and couldn't get on the right tract. I always asked him what did he want to be when he grow up. I guide him, never force him. I never force him to study. He would finished his home work and played his games. He's always the top few of the class. He chose Software
Engineer program for himself. I took him to the information sesstion at Waterloo then he chose Waterloo. I didn't force my kid at all. Because the requirement of the high qualification for immigration, immigrant communities averagely have higher IQ and so do their kids, result in the higher percentage of university student population is just normal. The goverment and the educators should be aware of that. I don't believe our chinese force our kids to go to universities.
记得曾经有一位中央台记者问丁肇中：“你认为中国人是不是世界上最聪明最优秀的”？丁肇中答：“最聪明最优秀谈不上，只能说和其他民族一样。其实，其他民族也有很优秀的”。我十分认同丁肇中的说法，虽然我和我的子女们已经做的十分优秀了。

其实在Markham开的那个Conference宗旨是好的，华人社区--推而广之亚裔社区对子女上大学的渴望确实比白人、黑人及拉美人社区来得更强烈。只是星报及Maclean‘s的借题发挥、煽风点火有点令人愤怒，抗议是有依据的。这其实也反映了主流社会的一部分人（我相信他们不会是多数）面对亚裔学生愈来愈强的学术竞争力所表现出来的一种不安情绪。
应该承认，华人家长在对孩子上大学上是比较pushy, 其实许多韩国人、南亚人也是这样的。华人对子女教育往往只看成绩，不及其余。这是导致他们独立性及社交技巧缺乏的主因。许多家长对这些方面不屑一顾，影响了孩子的全面发展。其实language, manners, character education, arts, and sports & games 这些方面的发展与成绩单上的科目同样重要。华人在海外为当地社会贡献了不少工程师、科学家，程序员。但想一想，在无论是美国、还是加拿大的Top 100 CEO 名单上有几个华人？华人议员又有多少？世界一流的艺术家华人又有几个？与华人在当地社区所占的比例一致吗？海外华人要进一步提高自身的经济、政治、文化地位，目光就必须超越成绩单，超越大学，将思考聚焦在Leadership skill，为自己的孩子量体裁衣，而不是拔苗助长，注重全面的“营养”，给孩子更多选择，而不是包办。这样，即使孩子进了college，他们也能在今后发展得比某些勉强进了多大、滑铁卢的更好，活得更开心。
另外，华人孩子如果能在“肉”（academics）与“水果蔬菜”(Non-academic areas)的摄取上保持一种更好的平衡，对他们与其他族裔的融洽相处也大有帮助，别的族裔就不会觉得我们很另类，甚至觉得是一种威胁。
I went to University when I was 15. How old when you went to University, if you ever did? I go my PhD at age of 24. When did you get yours, if you ever did?
My son have played all kinds of sports since he was 5. He is now learning business in Western and he picked himself. I offer advices whenever he needs me.
Personal attacks do not make you right.
As a parent, you want your kids have a happy life, not necessarily graduate as a MD.
I believe you.
However you do not compare individually when we talk about universities. You compare by a bloc. For that sense, there is a reason that top universities are better.
