Who Is The "Tiger Mother" "Cat Dad"?

Recently, the debate on the education mode of "tiger mother" and "cat and Dad" has become increasingly heated.

Many representatives of the two participating countries in Beijing have expressed their views on these two different educational methods.

Either way, the education method that the committee members recognize is to pay attention to ability training, and finally let the children realize themselves.

Exam oriented education?

It is an indisputable fact that Chinese children are hard at work.

Wang Hongjun, deputy to the National People's Congress, described the heavy learning life of the children: more than 80% of the children who walked on the road before 8:30 and Sunday morning before Saturday were more than 80% classes.

Wang Yuzhi, deputy to the National People's Congress, has the same feeling: many parents choose to let their children suffer from childhood because they want their children to be happy in the future.

From kindergarten to kindergarten, we have reported all kinds of classes to children, lest they should fall behind others.

"Children's happiness index is low, the key is that parents force children to attend these training classes, forcing children to not play time, and parents also think they are very concerned about their children."

According to a statistics, there are 380 million children under 16 years of age in China. The proportion of primary and secondary school students in China has exceeded 63%, while 1/3 of Chinese family expenditure is used for education.

Many delegate members pointed out that exam oriented education is the "culprit" that leads to low children's happiness index.

Famous in China

A netizen named "middle school teacher from Inner Mongolia" sent out such a feeling on micro-blog: "watching the batch of children suffer, it is hard for me to feel uncomfortable. The present college entrance examination system not only brings great pressure to students, but also fierce competition between teachers and parents."

Educational experts point out that the current educational method in China has not been able to solve the famous "Tsien Hsueshen question" until now.

Children's lack of more educational choices not only reduces happiness but also stimulates the vitality and creativity of a nation. The development and progress of the country will be affected.

The representative of Wang Yuzhi said that at present, there is no difference in hardware between primary schools, junior middle schools and senior high schools in China. High school is dominant in book borrowing and network conditions, but it is getting worse and worse in software. For example, extracurricular activities are gradually decreasing, teachers do not pay much attention to encouraging students to explore questions of interest to themselves, and the burden of schoolwork is heavier and heavier. With the increase of grades, students' examination pressure has gradually increased, resulting in a gradual decrease in the environment conducive to creativity training, so the higher the grade is, the more unfavorable the school environment is to the cultivation of students' creativity.

Liu Hongyu, a member of the CPPCC National Committee, said: "I feel that children should not be influenced by exam oriented education and should be developed in an all-round way.

I climb with my children after my children's study. This is a sport that is good for children in all aspects.

She pointed out that "seeing children" is the educational mentality of many Chinese parents. This is a utilitarian mentality, which is related to the pluralistic social values and the educational system.

She believes that the autonomy of children will form a virtuous circle. Children's self-confidence, trust and appreciation will help to discover their own strengths and stimulate creativity.

Respect children

Grow together with children {page_break}

Sun Yunxiao, an expert on teenagers, conducted a survey and found that the 3 questions most asked by Chinese parents are: have you finished your homework? How come home so late? Who are you going out with?

Han Deyun, deputy to the National People's Congress, said: "although I do not quite agree with the" tiger mother "education, it reflects that family and parents should still play an important role in the whole education. Our education system should have room for family and parent education, rather than simple requirements and command.

"Cat dad" Chang Zhitao once said: no matter tiger mother, cat mother, respect for children, and children grow together, is the core of family education.

The vast majority of young people in China not only love learning but also think.

Representative Han Deyun pointed out that in addition to the role of the education system, the key lies in what kind of example parents do, whether they love learning equally and love thinking.

In the increasingly competitive environment, many parents tend to overemphasize "means" rather than ends in order to make their children succeed.

In the concept of Chinese mother, "key school" is a very weighty word.

Quality education resources are limited, and everyone wants their children to get a share. So choosing a school for their children has become a "technical activity."

Fortunately, people began to rationally reflect the current mainstream education methods.

Wang Dinghua, a deputy director of the basic education department of the Ministry of education, said, "do not lose at the starting line" is a kind of flickering to some extent, and it is not worth carrying out propaganda and promotion. This reflects the rational reflection.

Yuan Guiren, Minister of education, also said that parents should respect their children's choices and lighten the burden of schoolwork, so as to give students more time to understand, think and practice.

American tiger mother

Cai Meier, a Chinese American professor, is full of slap in the face, abuse and overloaded exercises in his children's education. However, he has taught two daughters who are very successful. He played piano at the world music temple at the age of 14, and at the age of 12, he became the lead violinist in the Yale Youth Orchestra, and he also held the best record of A in all the doors.

"Cat dad" in Shanghai

Chang Zhitao, the "cat and Dad" who was allowed to develop freely, thought he could be very gentle in education. He would take a relaxing step and dance a waltz with his children, just like a cat.

His daughter is often handsome because he likes dancing, but he often absences from classes because of his performance. "Cat dad" gently "laissez faire" for 12 years.

Chang Shuai still gets scholarships every year in Shanghai Qibao middle school, and was admitted to Harvard University last year.
