Q: Should parents go to jail for being Chinese?
Chinese parenting. Probably the worst in the world.
Should bringing up a little emperor be punishable ? Lets face it, the world will become more annoying when all these little emperors turns 18, escapes to US and votes for some manic because they only care about hand size.

I don't really find this little emperor thing a problem. Been teaching Chinese kids for years and I don't find them to be spoiled on the whole. Just regular kids. On the contrary, I find most of my students to be well raised, well cared for, respectful to me as their teacher and pretty easy to teach. There's always the odd one I'd like to punch in the throat, but then in my highschool there were kids who spat on teachers and fought with them, all sorts of mayhem. One friend of mine hit a gym teacher in the face with a shoe. I've got no complaints with the kids here.

I was standing on a playground in Scandinavia the other day. My son is racing around, sliding, running up and down steps, ladders and everything you can climb. Group of Chinese grandmothers are forcing some same age kids to just sit on the ground or do the slides together with a grownup... while I am saying "Faster, wilder. Why don't you slide with a running start", while fully participating in all the fun. Slides are awesome.

And you ask this after Trump is the selected as the Republican nominee? The trust fund little emperor personified! And his competitor in the race. Ex first lady Hilary! Not exactly good role models for hard work and the America dream. More an example of money + breeding = you are better than the plebs.
My wife's students, on the whole, are harmless, but useless. This isn't necessarily a big problem because Chinese society is adapted to handle useless people. This is why Western people find it so frustrating here. The funny thing is my wife's customers, the parents, want her to change their children into creative, thinking persons. They are so disappointed when I tell them the great secret: They need to change their method of parenting. Needless to say, they are quite upset that I cant break out my guitar and solve their problem with a little laowai song.

I never forget one of my Chinese friends who had had his son at a try before you buy session in a LEGO Daycare facility.... he said "the teachers asked the kids to build LEGOs without helping" duh.

Yes! The great LEGO scam! Some of my wife's students are paying 100yuan an hour for LEGO classes. Can you believe it? Parents think their kids need classes to learn how to play! Sigh! I can hear that familiar sound of brain cells dying in China.
