The Last of the Tiger Parents
The author has the privilege to not have to raise his child the way he was, because he is very successful and rich. Once you have economic wealth, you reach higher and higher on the Maslov&#x27;s Hierarchy of Needs. He and his children have the privilege and luxury of pursuing the top echelon, which is self-fulfillment. He doesn&#x27;t have to force education down his children&#x27;s throats because they will inherit his and his wife&#x27;s wealth. His children can graduate from a city college and still be millionaires from their inheritance.<p>His parents didn&#x27;t have that luxury, and most of us do not either. So it might not have been pretty, but it did exactly the job that his parents wanted to do. This is how families pull themselves out of the cycle of poverty, through unapologetic adherence to top education and work ethic.
