It is not by chance that kids of Indians, do well at these US Spelling Bee or Geographic Bee. They take great pains to push their kids to do it. Parents of Indian kids are known to put a lot of pressure on their kids to stand out. It is even said that they live their lives through the achievements of their kids!!
Chinese parents are known to be even stricter, pushing their kids to not only excel at education but to also learn the Chinese language as well as classical instruments like Violin and Piano.
