What is with the Asian Parent's Guide joke?

It is a recurring bit aimed squarely at the adult, and it is one question asked with a completely straight face: why are we waiting until college to mention this?

The exaggeration is the affectionate part. Underneath it sits something sincere, which is that high expectations set early and delivered deadpan are a form of believing somebody is capable.

It carries the humor so the material a child actually colors can stay sincere, and it is used selectively. The educational content is written to be useful to any family, from anywhere.
