Do you realize that some kids have these tightly packed schedules? Do you ever wonder why? Or are you one of them?
Some parents have probably never been to tuition classes. That could be one of the reasons why they do that to their kids. Letting their kids get the full experience, hoping they will become something their parents aren't.
Another reason may be to show off. I think probably 98% of the highly positioned people who aren't aware yet ,mostly send their kids off to tuition classes. (The other 2% maybe forgot they had kids) Then at some cocktail party, they can tell all their friends about their children's achievements, waiting to hear the phrase: "How far does an apple fall from a tree?" or something like that.
One more reason is overprotection. Your dad or mom loves you so much that they send you to any class they can send you to, hoping you will have no trouble finding a job when you are older.
I don't find that very effective. You need to have passion to do things well...
Back to the point, some parents have their own other reasons. All we can do as kids is to have compassion for them, and yet still get our own life into our own hands. I trust you can do that!
Phew!!....lucky that we r not in the 98% category nor the 2% category. Oops!...where r we then?
ReplyDeleteThe aware category...of course!
ReplyDeleteObviously.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess we're hovering somewhere near the 98% . Can't help it.
SAYS WHO???
ReplyDeleteI'll punch that person in the face!!! (Kidding)
This is one of the most interesting and funny blog ever...cos I think I am going into the direction of 98%!!! But after chating with Moi Ting (yr mom)hehe...I realise that as parents,our intention for our kids really matters...I'll try my best to send only good intentions...so thanks for all the sharing and keep up all the good work...really appreciate it.
