I thought a lot about this when he said it. America is not a caste system. America is a marketplace. The way we raise American children is with the broadest possible exposure to the marketplace so they understand what the marketplace wants, how to sell, how to market etc… goofing off actually sets American children up for success. If you were tiger mom’d to death as a mathlete you probably don’t understand that. My kids go to a highly academic school with a lot of Indian kids. They are always the top of the class right as are some of the Indian kids but in their off time I let them goof off, do nothing, trampoline park, water park, ride bikes etc… whereas it seems like the Indian kids are shuffled off to their next activity. I’m raising my kids to be owners of our society, not workers. Workers do a specific task well, owners understand the big picture.

Exactly. America produces well rounded winners. Not afraid to think for ourselves and challenge the status quo. This is unique to our culture. My friends that got tiger mom’d ended up ruining their lives because as soon as they got freedom they went off the deep end. The ones that were binge drinking and doing drugs in high school (but also high iq/high agency) turned out better. Need to learn our limits and boundaries early.
