A few days ago, "New York Times" Chinese net of a column, Chinese parents allow children to learn
learn mandarin Chinese, but children learn more and more big head, Voices of discontent. Give up halfway, a few.
A Wang parents say, has high school daughter Chinese from primary school, but to Chinese school every weekend, daughter naughty play to depend on, can not not go. "I told her Chinese, she would English answer, Chinese able to use the language communication, but not fully read and write. Wanted to send her to school Chinese exercise more, but the children learn more and more pain, finally only drop out."
Mr. Xia worked as a volunteer teacher in
learning mandarin a school Chinese once told the media, many children are the parents forced to learn Chinese, "reluctant" to full in the face. To arouse the interest of students, teachers have to rack sth., even Chuiladanchang together.
Learning Chinese, generally is the child's request to Chinese parents, but for different purposes. Some parents feel Chinese capacity CV many, later find more job opportunities. If the children Chinese say not good, also can hinder elders exchanges and. Home Shengqin, grandma grandpa hot kiss with a child, but the child opens mouth is "I want orange juice (I want orange juice)", only can let the elders being at a loss what to do, a sense of estrangement produced instantaneously.
More and more parents to keep the Chinese culture of "root". Even the immigrants to foreign countries, they also do not want to offspring and Chinese culture broken contact, and learn Chinese, write Chinese characters is the most basic requirements.
Sincerely hope that parents, children may not understand. Chinese director Wang Ying's film "the Joy Luck Club", Chinese mother forced her to learn the piano, hope children can shine on the stage. My daughter is in a failure of the public performance, on the angry mother shouted: "I am not your slave! You can't force me!"
Parents in trying, often children think "trouble", "useless", "long winded". Chinese director Professor Wei Ruiqin think that American Basadi Community College, most Chinese school is on weekends or after school classes, in fact, the child dislike is deprived
learning chinese of their leisure time. On the other hand, the parents not to Chinese as a foreign language, feel the child learn should be, the children good resistance to encourage, no wonder the children lack of motivation.
The concept of different, but also lead to children and parents pay more attention to the different degree of Chinese. First generation immigrants grew up in Chinese growth, search China cultural gene, natural hope children can learn Chinese. But foreign born "Chinese two generation", childhood exposure to western culture, lack of deep feelings of the parents of the traditional culture. In their view, China text may be just a difficult language learning tool.
