Why are Asian children such good students?

Answer 1

My own opinion......is their home life.

The parents make the kids study......and the parents have a better work ethic than the other kids parents...and they place a high value on education.

Answer 2

As a teacher I have to point out, as others have, that this is a generalization if ever there was one. However, I have also seen the hard work most of my Asian students have put forth in their studies. This doesn't mean they're smarter than their peers, but it DOES mean they're better students in that they study and try their hardest on assignments. Through talking to some of my Asian students in the past, they are fully aware that their language barrier means they MUST work harder in order to make it in an English-speaking classroom. Their families don't speak English at home, which makes it that much harder to acquire the language at school. Their families do, however, trust their children's teachers to provide an education and therefore expect their children to do well in school. This expectation from home definitely helps. It does with any child. It's my opinion through personal observation in the classroom that a family's expectations for success and acquiring knowledge are key ingredients for educational success. The kids whose parents don't give a crap consistently perform at a lower level than their peers. I don't think your assumption in your question is racist. I think it's culturally biased. I also think it's true to a large extent. :)

Answer 3

It's the pressure from the parents to do well because of their race. In America, if there was a white person, a black person, and an Asian person w/ the same IQ and each a similar resume, most companies would take the white person first, and then the black person, and then the Asian person. I'm not trying to be racist here, but that is real life. And it's even harder when you have older siblings more intelligent and you end up being the last child because the parents expect the most out of their littlest child. And this is my current situation.

Answer 4

not all Asian children are good students but why you see a lot of top notch Asian students is probably because of the high value of education in Asian cultures. Asian parents can also be strict and children well-disciplined (at least in my case!)

Answer 5

The Asian students who excell , do so for the same reason that all students who excell do. Parental guidance and encouragement, respect for their teachers and schools, having a plan for their future. Its not all Asian students, that is a stereotype, there are excellent White, Black, Hispanic , Indian, and Oriental students.

Answer 6

I think that is a bit of a gross generalization, but Asian parents and teachers are often more strict about education.

Answer 7

umm that is a bit of a sterotype. my friend is asian and he could care less about school. but because of asian culture more asian parents are stricter than others about school and have higher standards.

Answer 8

That is a common misconception and stereotype.Yes, there are many Asians who are smart, but there are also many Asians who are not so smart.

Answer 9

I dropped out of high school.
