It's like me coming to your office at 10a.m and, having observed you being busy, declaring that you don't know how to have fun.
You'd reply that my remark is silly: you do what you HAVE to do to bring home the bacon.
Asian kids are quite social. Their sense of duty prevents them from having fun and socializing at all times, just as your work ours do.
We encourage sports and recreation. Do you see no connection with the fact that our education is a joke when compared with most developed countries?
That’s why I said Asians don’t “seem” to be quite as social. I really don’t know. I agree that the Asians are miles ahead of most American kids as far as making the grades by doing the work required. They seem to have more of a sense of duty as far as studying is concerned than the average white guy/girl. Of course there are exceptions to every situation.
