not necessarily.. more like theres a balance in parenting which we don't get right... it's either one way or the other... over-nuturing vs under-nuturing... then you have social situation mixed up in there.. absent fathers, irresponsible parents, poverty, etc...

All factors which make a society... i weep for the next generation of under-prepared adults...

Any evidence to back up these statements? How much does "some" equate to?

Did you read the article?

She is referring to students that are only academically inclined and study in Europe. Most likely scholarship recipients.

In any event, this is such a baseless piece of writing.
