现在的家长们,从总体上对子女的关注超过了前几十年。这个年代固有的开放、繁荣、功利,也让家庭教育有了新的定位,一位母亲循循善诱,教她的女儿学当“官”。要说做官,恐怕很多人都乐意。我9岁的女儿,对做“官”却有几分恐惧。有一天,我正在家里看电视,几个与女儿同班的女孩欢快地跑来敲门,告诉我,我的孩子天然当上班里的文艺委员了。我乍一听有几分惊喜,从未当过班干部的女儿,居然有了“官运”。我转过身来,问立在一旁不语的女儿,是不是有这么一回事,女儿默默地点头。我可兴奋啦!走上前去拍着女儿的肩膀高声地说:“我的女儿有长进了。”女儿还是闷闷不乐,低着头小声地说:“我不想当官。” Today’s parents are generally more concerned with their children than in previous decades. The inherent opening-up, prosperity, and utilitarianism of this era have also given home education a new orientation. A mother follows her example and teaches her daughter to be an “official.” To say an official, I am afraid many people are happy. My 9-year-old daughter is somewhat scared of doing “official”. One day I was watching TV at home. Several girls in same class as my daughter came knocking cheerfully and told me that my child was a natural literary commissioner on the job. I first heard a bit surprised, had never been a class cadre’s daughter, actually had “official operation.” I turned around and asked her daughter, who was standing aside, did not have the same thing, and her daughter nodded silently. I was excited to go up and patted her daughter’s shoulder and said loudly: “My daughter has grown in.” Daughters, still depressed, whispered, “I do not want to be an official.”
