Section A03
In the reading, “Why Chinese mothers are superior” Amy Chua
describes the difference between the teaching influences of a western family
compared to a Chinese influenced family. I can relate to this reading because
my parents raised me in a Chinese manner where education is emphasized at home.
Getting A’s was strictly enforced with additional learning services such as
Kumon where I enhance my reading and math skills. Compared to my nephew, who
was raised the western way, he does not have the same enforcement and academic
stress on him. He always has time to play video games and games on his iPad,
and his parents do not force academic stress on him as much as my parents did.
My nephew does not get excellent grades, he is only aiming for average and his
parents are okay with that. My sister just simply does not agree with the tiger
mom teachings, which was how we were taught growing up, she has assimilated to
the western teachings.
Q: Do you really think tiger mom teachings has a better influence on their children's grades? Why?
