2. My sister in law is a Tiger Mom
So it is interesting in the dynamics of that family. They had two girls and they ended up very different. One did follow through. Got Straight A's and played in competitions and I believe was one of the best in Georgia. She was valedictorian of her class and is now a senior at MIT. The second one completely revolted. She had a very dificult time with her parents and now is in a boarding school. She "dropped" out of school for a period of time in 9tn or 10th grade. She is now back on track but she fought like crazy and it's been a very difficult relationship for the parents and child. It can work for some kids and it can be a disaster. It's just not simple.
