Why is this mother setting us off like no other?   Don't hate me
because I'm a better mother.  We first heard about Tiger Mother
with the release of her book, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,”
last week. But this thing has really taken on a life of its own
with just about everyone weighing in on her hard line child
rearing techniques and criticisms of Western parents. Mostly
negatively.  It’s been all over the blogs, including this one.
Today, we had this editorial by David Brooks in the Times Union.
It just doesn’t seem to be dying down the way the school girls
dancing to Beyonce did. I hate to see mothers criticize the
choices other mothers have made. We should parent the way we
believe is right and support each other, even if we don’t agree.
Perhaps that is what seems to be getting everyone upset.  Maybe
it is the rampant stereotyping of Eastern and Western ways.  Why
do we care so much what Amy Chua says?  Tracy Ormsbee  8
