Do you have any evidence of that? Asian American parents generally strictly control their kids’ choices, and they have much better outcomes than white American kids.

I think it would be great if kids could take themselves to gymnastics practice on public transit. But giving them the choice between that and smoking pot with friends? I think the choice hurts rather than helps.

Outcomes measured with what endpoints?

Last I looked it up, there were pretty serious mental health issues associated with the tiger parenting technique.

A whole bunch of stuff—from income mobility to life expectancy to incarceration rates to morality rates from avoidable causes.

What do you mean in the second paragraph about gymnastics practice? It's implying kids cannot take public transit, but why? That was fairly common, even recently, and I'm trying to understand if something has changed in some regions.
