Sigh... That very article was brought up in Nolan's toddler class on Monday, amidst a "parent ed" discussion on overscheduling and time management. All of the mothers seemed concerned that the Chinese mother was mean due to her pushing the kid towards academic success rather than wanting the kid to have his/her own choices and, the ultimate goal, to be happy. We then discussed how to balance swimming lessons with art lessons with cooking classes at the YCMA (really! this was a recommendation!) with that ever elusive "me time."
Of course the whole time I was thinking, Omfg, this is all so middle class... I'm middle class now, holy shit, which totally detracts from the point of your post, but made me think of you. :)

There is no real ending to this comment.
