A good mom. - 2013 02 19

There is A joke as below: 

A pupil child and his mom were on the bus. He told his mom,:

"We were given too much homework for the winter holiday!"

His mom The mother glanced glimpsed at the exercise book, tore it up and then threw toss it outside through the bus window. All passengers were shocked. "If your teacher asks why your exercise book is missing, just tell her that mom mummy had picked a fight with daddy and destroyed your exercise book." What a "considerate" mom! 

公交车上，一个小学生拿着寒假作业本对他妈妈说：＂妈妈我寒假作业太多了！＂他妈妈拿过来翻了几页，然后直接把作业本撕了，扔出窗外。一车人以及小学生都看的目瞪口呆。只听他妈妈潇洒的说到，老师问，你就说、爸爸妈妈打架，妈妈撕了作业本！有这样老妈，是多少学生的梦想！(转）

From your original Chinese

On the bus, a child gave the winter holidays homework book to the mother and said,

"Mummy, too much homework!"  [This is not the exact translation because in English, you don't need to repeat the same thing in jokes if they are not the crux]

The mother turned over a few pages and then proceeded to tear it up before tossing the pieces out of the bus window.  All passengers including some other students were agaped.  They heard how the mother told her child suavely,

"If the teacher asks, tell her that daddy and mummy had a big fight and she tored the book up!".

This kind of a mother - many a pupil's dream mom!

Another good piece you had written.  Long time haven't stumbled onto your entries.

A Good Mom. - 2013 02 19

Sometimes when I heard my colleague complaining that her daughter had failed in her exams and how disappointed he felt, I was speechless. I wondered what the meaning of "education" is.

I was once in senior high school for 3 three years to learn physics, chemistry, biology, maths, history, politics, geography, English and even Chinese... I was clear about knew the names of famous mountains in other continents, I knew how plants spread in different areas, I could can explain tell how World War I One started, I knew what chromosomeis is was, I could can work out mathematical problems, which seem to be (now a miracle to me) now. It was is a pity that I had so few music and art lessons. Some teachers even robbed us out of our PE classes in order to teach us more about on maths theorems.

However, I have forgotten most of these knowledge now. I thought it only that these sort of things happened 10 ten years ago. But The situation never turned better but for the worse [or "but remained the same".  You need to have some kind of comparison here]. After parents realised how fierce the competition is, they want their kids to be more competent. They decide what the kids should learn, they and push kids to get high marks in exams grades. Only in this way, do they think their kids grow up in a shortcut to success children will be successful in life. 

I would like to ask:"Have Did any of us we adults ever considered about the feelings of their children kids? How may do they feel after learning studying for a whole day?" Can parents pay less attention to their grades scores and instead, encourage kids them to develop their hobbies?

Of course, students children must should learn, but they should learn in a proper more balanced way. No one can handle all those absorb all the facts.  knowledge. It was is not a disaster that kids if they fail their exams. Parents should be remain calm and help to find out the reason. Scolding kids will not help. Love and encouragement are most more important.

I really wish kids them can have a happier time at school.
