"I don't see any legitimate arguments in the whole article. ..."
You mean we should all shut up and just listen??? sounds like we don't know better about ourselves...why?
I don't see any legitimate arguments in the whole article. Here are a few examples:
"难道要剥夺亚裔孩子受教育的权利吗？加国出生的学生不愿申请读大学是他们的自由和权利，华裔加拿大学生愿意申请读大学同样是他们的自由和权利，凭什么要质疑？这样的质疑不是带有种族优越感、种族歧视是什么？ "
"不知道《多伦多星报》说“亚裔学生被迫入大学”这样的话根据是什么，他们究竟调查访问了多少人得出的这个结论" "至少华裔家长通常都很尊重孩子的兴趣爱好，对孩子有要求但绝没强迫": So you 访问了多少人得出 your 结论?
Hers is the bottom line: Do your kids give up too much to achieve their academic excellence?

I heard of the drop rate is very high in some U of T 's program too, but most of the drop outs are the white kids who don't want to study hard.

I am here to introduce one of a famous book written by Thomas Friedman, the name of the book is :The World Is Flat. its A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century.
its basically telling readers that things changing in 21 century, when the sun rises in the morning, kids from China and indian have already started their racing game, therefor, kids from north-American should run before get too later to catch them up. other races should wake-up for the alert......
History of the world twenty years from now, and they come to the chapter "Y2K to March 2004," what will they say was the most crucial development? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations, giving them a huge new stake in the success of globalization? And with this "flattening" of the globe, which requires us to run faster in order to stay in place, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner?
In this brilliant new book, the award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. The World Is Flat is the timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.

All Canadian universities are easy to get in, hard to get out. When I studied at Queen's university for my master's degree, I remembered that I hadn't had a single day off, even in the Christams Day. I didn't enjoy my study for one bit, just feel lucky that I survived and got the dam degree.
There was a young Chinese girl at Urban planning, the study was so intense for her which caused her heart problem and she was sent back to China just in three months time. So many students had anxiety attack due to the enormous pressure, some even had suicidal attempt. The school had to increase the number of student counselors to make sure that nobody dies. In undergraduate Political science program usually only 1/3 of the students graduate and get a degree.
我要反问：亚裔孩子该干什么才算正常？
