Mass media and previous research tend to label Asian parents as "academic-obsessive" in their parenting, which can be reflected in the primary-school choice for their children.

Phillipson, Sivanes – Educational Psychology, 2009

Consequently, different parents can produce different contexts of academic achievement for their children. The participants were 215…
