i honestly have no idea what it is. but whether its a genetic (mal)function, or just something that always happens, asian moms are obsessed with their child(ren)'s grades. its very sad.
what makes me laugh a little about it is the fact that most dads (even asian ones) don't care that much about grades. They just know that as long as their kid works hard and does his !$(@!*# best, its fine with them. maybe because their asian moms pushed them too hard and they swore they would never do that to their kid ever?
but as to not discourage any asian mom readers out there, you guys are the best cooks.
also: my big toe has an ingrown nail. and yes, when you put socks and shoes on and begin to run, it hurts.

lol for a moment there when i looked at the title of this post I thought it said "the bane of aslans" and i was confused...
Haaaa I don't think that's just azn moms Tim.
No way is it...read Joycelyn Choo's blog post on Asian grade ratings... http://hebegebes.blogspot.com/2008/12/asian-parent-grade-ratings.html
These sound exactly like 1) my parents and more tragically 2) myself...neither of whom are asian ;) maybe it's asians and homeschoolers? ;)
also, grade expectations decrease conversely, to n-born, where n is the number of kids.
