强逼孩子学习，弊大于利？

by | Jul 27, 2019 | Uncategorized

日前看了一则视频，小学学习奥数，弊大于利？有兴趣的朋友可以通过以下链接观看。 我们说华小学习压力大，孩子被逼超前学习与他们实际年龄不相称的课程，导致童年被牺牲。但是中国儿童学习压力更大。为了可以升上更好的中学，小学生就必须参加奥林匹克数学班（奥数），因为竞争激烈，在普通考试考获好的成绩恐怕已经不够。 在这种水涨船高的情况下，学习奥数从可选项变成了必选项，许多儿童，不管乐不乐意、对数学有没有兴趣，都被父母半哄半强迫的送入奥数班。...

我看华人和犹太人的教育理念之差别

by | May 11, 2019 | book-review, Uncategorized

最近看了很多本亲子教育的书，最新一本是由刘清虔牧师写的《犹太人的亲子教育–让孩子赢在终点》. 犹太人亡国数千年，最近才复国，之前过着颠沛流离的生活。这样的一个民族，却能够在异邦保有自己的文化、传统、宗教；而在复国之后，在面对充满敌意的邻居，却还能够屹立不倒，无疑有值得我们学习的地方。 我之前看过的一本书《特别狠心特别爱》, 就是一个犹太妈妈写如何教育儿女成才的故事。看看犹太人写的教育的书，在对照一下咱们华人所写的教育的书，就可以看到其中的巨大差别来。华人重视教育，这点无需质疑，所以像《哈佛女孩》,...
