			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p> <span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://jadehwang.wordpress.com/2007/03/21/asians-parents-kiasuism/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/vFL0w1ruiCM/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>This video in some way reminded me of my mum. She  loved comparing us to all our friends and thinks that getting tons of As is the only way a student can survive in the current competitive education system. I don&#8217;t blame her though, Asian are just brought up this way with this sort of mentality. In the Chinese community, <em>kiasuism</em> strike every single matter of our life, be it education or having the biggest car or house.</p>
<p>Once, a friend told me that his friend&#8217;s wife woke him up in the middle of the night, worrying about their children&#8217;s education.</p>
<p>Sigh!</p>
<p>Getting an A is not an option but a MUST.</p>
