Chinese Education
has caused quite a stir Amy Chua, professor at Yale, but deeply rooted in China. He published a book "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" describing his educational philosophy to the daughters, an approach that anyone who attends China has had occasion to note, in versions sweetened or not, but transverse to the education system.
Penalty, prohibitions, continuous drive towards increasing returns: an authoritarian approach that horrifies Proponents of smiling and amused.
As usual, probably lies somewhere in between the right approach, but its position is sobering. Working for years with students is also well past a devastating message: that learning should not be hard work and sacrifice which we study only what interests without getting a lot of questions.
This approach becomes a phrase that I often hear from people, even very far over the years, that work: I'm still having fun! As if all
the world was only a great stage for our ego.
The conflict has been more open with a teacher when my son attended first grade, which is not taught to write and our grievances risponderva smiling, but learn, do not worry. As if a manual skill and coporea could internalize just watching, playing, having fun, and not the result instead of a progressive training, how to ski or play tennis.
missing from a viewpoint that we do understand that do not fatigue is a torture, but a toll to an internal growth, which gives self-confidence and belief in value. That there is more than hedonism responsabibilità to the group to which it belongs, to the community.
Disclosures dangerous, some people but does not address the limit, perhaps as radical as those incurred by Amy Chua. Think about
can help, in emtrambi cases, to return to an equilibrium point.
