I like to listen to music, hang out with my boyfriend Josh, and draw. I've never been really into school, but thats only because I cannot stand being told what to do. It makes me mad, because I'm a big girl, and I can do things myself thats all.
As far as Amy Chua's opinion goes, I don't agree with her at all. I believe that children should be able to choose where they want to go in life. Kids shouldnt be told what instrument to play, what grades to make, and what friends to have. I think the whole point of having a childhood is to learn what decisions to make. Thats how I did it and I'm pretty smart when it comes to my knowledge and common sense. If you raise a child to be exactly the way you invision the "perfect child" being, that kid will never ever have any individuality. So in a lot of ways Amy Chua is robbing her kids of a normal childhood. When I was in regular school, the kids that were raised similar to Amy's liking were socially awkward, and the other students never ever let those kids live it down. She is ruining her kids futures. Because what is better in the end? money and smarts, or happiness and love?
i beleive that laurens thoughts on the subject is pretty simular to the way i think about it and she made at least one point that i didnt make in my argurement, about the children being socailly ackward thats true too. Because even though their parents arent there at school hovering the kid. they keep the kids from talking to other outside of school and most of the kids arent soo stuck on grades so it prolly makes it hard for them to focus on their grades for their parents and to speak to the other kids..fifty words right?? that should be fifty lol
ReplyDeleteI also beleive that Laurens thoughts on this is simular to the way i think about it. I think the mother should let her kids have freedom. Because love and happiness is better in the end.
ReplyDeletei beliieve and understand everything thought that she makes and its very smart of her.The child mother kinda deserves saying somthing about the kids like the child is sorta akward to everyone.Itz hard for the children is kinda easy because they smart and the daughter is slow in learn such as dislect.Children even talk to the daughter for a stupid reason...oh yah itz a good story :D
