Recently read a highly provocative article on WSJ - "Why Chinese mothers are superior" which sparked so many comments and reads that has become the most read article on WSJ.com and facebook for 2-3 days now. The article is written by a Yale professor of Taiwanese /Chinese descent and argues that "eastern" parenting style of shaming their children to work hard is better than the "often too soft" permissive "western" parenting style. The article is so polarizing and full of stereotypes that I am surprised it passed the editorial filter at the journal. However, it does make a very entertaining read. I guess this is another sign of Murdochification of the journal (similar to what we see on Fox) - Entertainment sells, news /fact don't!
