I wonder how many of these kids commit suicide rather than face serve punishment or disappointment from their parents? Or how many finally snap and just can't do it anymore?
And what is the goal of life? To make money, to be the best factory worker, to make great discoveries in science, to help others, to not dishonor the family?
I think the focus on the goal, and living without distractions is what helps them succeed. Yet, they will suffer by lacking in socialization skills and knowledge of how the real world works.

being #10 valedictorian? At least that's what I've ready about these days since everyone is special and gets the top, can't let anyone feel bad or make them strive or achieve for better.
I'm sorry I don't buy that. When everyone is special no one is special.
I don't know how these folks are lacking the socialization skills, they may not socialize with white folks, but it's not like they sit in a dark room by themselves.
