Tiger Mother or Sheep Mother?

Inrecent years, “Tiger mother” has been a hot topic in our life. “Tiger mother”is a very strict mother who makes her children work particularly hard andrestricts their free time so that they continually achieve the highest grades.After that, the word “tiger mother” has been regarded as a synonym for a stricteducation mode.

近年來，“虎媽”已經(jīng)成為我們生活中的一個熱門話題。“虎媽”是一個非常嚴格的母親她讓她的孩子特別努力工作，并限制他們的自由時間，以讓他們不斷地達到最高峰。在那之后，“虎媽”已被視為嚴格的教育模式的同義詞。

However,the opposite method from Finland’s education system is also brought into publicfocus nowadays, which is called as “sheep mother”. People who advocate thiskind of education mode believe that education is a “service” and children are“customs”. Therefore, there are only general objectives but no concretesyllabus and teachers can use any methods as long as most children can reachthe goals. It got this name because people thought that children who are underthis mode felt like herding sheep.

然而，與它相對的芬蘭教育系統(tǒng)的方法也引起當今公眾的關注，被稱為“羊媽”。同意這一教育模式的人認為教育是“服務”孩子是“顧客”。 因此，只有總體的目標，而沒有具體的教學大綱，教師可以使用任何可以讓大多數(shù)孩子達到目標的方法。它得到這個名字是因為人們認為在那樣的模式下的兒童就像是在放羊。

Facingwith two kinds of different education modes, people meet with the problem whenteaching their children. As far as I am concerned, both of them have someadvantages and disadvantages. Thus, parents have to combine their advantageswith their children’s special conditions so that they can adjust their concretestrategies to teach their children. As the saying goes, “all things in theirbeing are good for something”, parents should be confident of their ownchildren no matter which education mode they adopt.

面對兩種不同的教育方式，在教孩子的時候他們遇到了困難。就我而言，兩種方式都有優(yōu)點和缺點。因此，家長要結合自己的優(yōu)勢和他們孩子的特殊條件來使調(diào)整具體的策略來教他們的孩子。俗話說，“所有存在的事物都有好的一面“，不管采取哪種教育模式父母都應相信自己的孩子。
