Some people summarize Jewish and Chinese parenting styles as Guilt and Punishment, respectively.
Ironically there are so many Jew-Chinese couples with "Crime and Punishment" doctrine? Just speculating.

Many seem to think that by narrowing our focus to just science and engineering, we will become more competitive. This is a serious mistake.
Our leaders in government, industry and academia should realize that they don’t have to make a choice between the sciences and the rest of the liberal arts. Indeed, the sciences are a vital part of the liberal arts.
The key to our success in the future will be an integrative education that doesn’t isolate the sciences from other parts of the curriculum, and that doesn’t shield the so-called creative and interpretive fields from a vigorous understanding of the problems addressed by scientists.
We should look at education not as a specific training program for a limited range of mental muscles but as a process through which one will generate some of the most important features in one’s life. It makes no sense to train people as narrowly as possible in a world going through cataclysmic changes, for you are building specific strengths that leave you merely muscle-bound, not stronger and more flexible.
We should think of education as a kind of intellectual cross-training that leads to many more things than at any one moment you could possibly know would be useful. The most powerful education generates further curiosity, new needs, experiences to meet those needs, more curiosity and so on.
The comments here are pretty one sided. Some border on the rediculous, like the one advocating curtailing liberty. Perhaps he would like to to move to North Korea or Cuba, where ordinary people have no liberty to wield any weapon.
The issue is not that simple. Being one of many blind men touching an elephant, I present another perspective of the beast.
The crime rates are lower in regions where guns are more accessible to the general population. What is the obvious alternative? What if even one teacher had a gun? He could have defended the school and shot the intruding gunner and saved the children from being killed. If it is known in general that many people are armed, more crime perpetrators would have given it a second thought to unleashing violence on otherwise defenseless people.
Generalize the issue slightly. Had a general population more access to guns, the government would have thought twice before they try to exploit the people too harshly. Here is one fact, all the communist country citizens have absolutely zero access to gun. Their governments oppress their people without the slightest concern for backlash.
如果共和党的华人忠贞成员，到现在还不知道这些关于共和党的基本事实，一厢情愿以为这些生命的流逝不是因为共和党的主张，而是Obama或者民主党的原因，那我建议各位给你们好好看看这个共和党的网站：Republican Party on Gun Control （http://www.ontheissues.org/celeb/republican_party_gun_control.htm）
BEIJING -- A man with a knife slashed 22 children and one adult outside an elementary school in Henan province Friday morning, China's worst such incident in more than a year.
The attack was reminiscent of a spate of knife attacks on schoolchildren that took place across China in 2010. In most cases, the attackers were unemployed middle-aged men, leading to speculation that the assaults stemmed from economic and social discontent.
Friday's attack occurred at about 7:40 a.m. as children were arriving outside the gate of Chenpeng Village’s Wanquan Elementary School. The suspect, Min Yingjun, 36, allegedly slashed an elderly woman as well as the children. Local propaganda officials said later that Min had a psychological illness.
