Synopsis | Top of the Class (2011)
It's no secret. At our most prestigious schools and universities, the names at the top of the honour rolls are now all Asian. And the reason is just as obvious; they study far more than their western classmates. But what's been revealed, in a best-selling book by a Chinese mum, is how that achievement is often driven by the extreme expectations of demanding mothers. They call them 'Tiger Mums', pushy parents not satisfied with anything but perfect marks. It's tough love alright, but when you see the results, you just might want to unleash some "tiger power" on your own kids.
