What is an "Asian Tiger Mom"...some sort of asinine stereotype of Asian women? Who is the doctor?
Like the previous poster's personal attack, that was pretty underwhelming...like your other posts. Why not try to have an adult conversation like the rest of us?

fintstone (Fred/Freddy) you have in past posts described that while in High School you fell in love with a college female student of Asian decent, got married after your graduation, joined the military, had a daughter that also joined the military and is now a doctor. You have also bragged how both you and your wife made sure your daughter was an academic achiever, hence
Tiger Mom and Dad. And who can forget the six houses? Not sure who is worse, you or Hugh.

Tiger parenting is a form of strict or demanding parenting. Tiger parents push and pressure their children to attain high levels of academic achievement or success in high-status extracurricular activities such as music, using authoritarian parenting methods.[1] ..............

She will sill probably on on immediately once she is selected (as that is the "replacement for below the zone).

Because anyone that can get into medical school can get someone to pay for it already. There is no canyon for them...as they are among the brightest and best and would "win" regardless.

If you really want to go to med school, however; the best bet is a regular school as College ROTC has a program that essentially sends anyone who can get into med school and gives them a lucrative full ride (however they still have to serve). The big problem with the military is that when you get close to graduating, they get to select your specialty (residencies). If you want to be a surgeon or dermatologist, they might need a family practice doctor more.
Services have long commitments to pay back for school. My daughter has to stay/serve around 11 years (counting residency), although she graduated with no loans and about $20K in the bank (had a scholarship for undergrad and med school). She is not in the specialty she wants, but may apply for another residency in that later if the service agrees. Also, she is in Korea although she would rather be in FL or CA.
Anyone who gets into med school can pretty much find someone who will pay for it (either as a loan or grant or promise to serve in an underserved area) if they are just able to complete their BS and MCAT with strong enough scores and be selected.

Now do you know what I'm talking about?
The only reason I bring this up is because I want to hear what your wife and daughter think of current events as posed by the topic of this thread.
Oh, and like others I call you Fred (
once in a while), it seems to be accepted by the moderators as not crossing the line. One moderator suggested that I stop calling you
Slick, Slickstone, Spinstone,, Finny, Slick Finny, and trenchcoat fint so I have complied with their wishes.
