The numbers speak for themselves: 18% of Harvard's
population; 25% of Columbia's; 42% of Berkeley's; 24% of
Stanford's; 25% of Cornell's... What are Asian parents doing to start their kids on the
road to academic excellence at an early age? What can all
parents do to help their children ace tests, strive to
achieve, and reach educational goals? In this book, two
sisters-a doctor and a lawyer whose parents came from South
Korea to the U.S. with two
hundred dollars in their pockets-reveal the practices that
lead Asian-Americans to academic, professional, and
personal success.
