By crazy I mean:  
1. Make you study for SATS 5-7hrs a day starting during 8th grade.  
2.Asian Grading System:  
>100 : A  
100 : A-  
99.9 : B  
99.98 : C  
99.97 : D  
<99.96 : F  
3. Straight A+'s  
4. "Must get into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT or you will have no future."  
5.Make you play piano, violin, trumpet, clarinet, flute.
Anyone else agree with me?

Did you just post this or am I getting deja vu?

Well, that IS freakin crazy. I'm pretty sure I'd lose my mind and run off some place where my they'd never find me.  ...but don't do that.

Have you really talked to them about it? Like, sincerely? Tell them how you feel about it.. You really don't need to study 5-7 hours a day to get 4.0 and get into good colleges.

I have a 4.0 and I only study about 3-5 hours a day, depending if I have exams or anything...

You should be controlling your life, not them..

That's not just Asians...

I've never had a problem with school, so these things haven't popped up, but they're trying to get me into college by 11th grade and then move on to a good college in FL (for free).
