Statistically, Asians succeed in mathematics and school (since most of our parents stress highly on school).
I have yet to enter a Medical office without seeing the names of "Chan", "Lee" or "Ng".
More and more asians are going into Computer Science too.
I'm not asian and I'm going into the medical profession. You're correct there is a lot of pressure on asian students from their parents to succeed. And I'd also like to point out that the suicide rate in Japan is triple what it is in the US, and it's still rising. Ultimately individuals are limited by factors such as intelligence. No amount of pressure can change that, and so some aren't able to keep up with their parent's expectations
I'm not saying that there isn't room for improvement in the U.S. School system, but I also think that the Japanese and other asian cultures essentially kill the childhood, which is critical and essential to the well being of an idividual.
Personally my mindset has always been one of sucess, but not at the cost of more important things such as SANITY. Or to be more precise, my mental health and well being. You can only take so much pressure before you snap. And that's a universal human characteristic.
If asians are more committed to education, then they are lacking in other areas such as FUN Another side note is that I've come to understand that in China the female population outnumbers the male population, so a chinese woman can be more selective when looking for a mate. And of course a promising young doctor, lawyer, or other high paying profession makes a better catch than a laborer. So there are factors playing into this.

It is possible for a 12-year-old to attend medical school through accelerated programs or early entrance programs specifically designed for gifted students. These programs typically have rigorous academic requirements and may require the student to have completed high school level courses in science and math.
The benefits of a 12-year-old attending medical school include early exposure to the medical field, the opportunity to learn advanced scientific concepts and skills, and the potential for a faster path to becoming a licensed physician.
Some challenges that a 12-year-old may face in medical school include being younger than their peers, balancing schoolwork with their social and emotional development, and potentially facing discrimination or isolation from older students.
As long as the 12-year-old is in a reputable medical school with proper support and guidance, it can be safe for them to study medicine at a young age. However, it is important for the student to have a strong support system and for the school to prioritize their well-being and development, both academically and personally.
The potential long-term implications of a 12-year-old attending medical school depend on the individual and their experience. It could lead to a successful career in medicine, but it could also potentially lead to burnout or a lack of social and emotional development if proper support and balance are not maintained.
