小孩上大学为什么一定要父母出钱呢？People say ...

you can fince education but not retirement. Plus, when the kids finance for their education, they will be more resposible and be do more research before they chose what to major. It will also teach them economics in their early age. Why the parents have to work their butt off (assume you are not one of those 大款 already) and the kids take it for granted?

Is this just typical Chinese (or Asian) thinking?
