Upper crust Manhattan kid gets into Harvard ... film at 11.
Additionally, I don't think anyone was criticizing the book on the basis that working kids like slaves doesn't produce academic results, just that doing so may be harmful and unethical. Even Mussolini got the trains running on time.

Thanks, I guess I never looked beyond the claims of the high-school survey of European history. There are still, no doubt, plenty of examples of people achieving certain results at the expense of more important ones (treating people like people, for instance).
Is this a late April Fools' joke? This reads like a parody of middle class striving meets stereotypical Asian obsession with "face".
Big whoop? Apparently they accepted 2158 people this year. http://crimson-ws2.hcs.harvard.edu/article/2011/3/31/percent...
Where are the other 600 word articles for the 2100 other acceptances? What mothers (if any) do those people have? You could write a book!

What the hell has "beauty" got to do with getting into Harvard? Is college entrance a beauty contest now?
I wish I had some way of finding out where the writer went to college.
Warm congratulations to her.
win for Brown!
