One thing is the stress and pressure on kids to perform well on testing in school, which transfers to the parents.

It's already pretty bad in the US, but it's nothing compared to China (or Asia in general.)

Ahhh... ok, I have heard that can be an issue from my wife's side of the family. I've also heard that the education is much more rigid and doesn't really encourage independent or creative thinking. More memorization.
