According to the special feature of China Daily, how to educate children is a realistic problem faced by all parents, and different people must have different educational ideas and methods. In the United States, a mother came up with an unusual way to make her daughter correct her attitude and study hard: let her daughter stand on a busy street with a "shame" sign in her hand. This mode of education immediately aroused widespread concern and fierce controversy.
Give your daughter a lesson and a thrill.
According to the Associated Press report on June 5438+065438+1October 17, 2005, the mother of this "painstaking" education daughter is Tasha Henderson, from Oklahoma, USA. She is 34 years old and has three children.
Henderson always wanted his children to study hard, but his 14-year-old daughter, Kresa, was disobedient. Kresa studies in a middle school on the outskirts of Oklahoma City. This middle school is famous all over Oklahoma and belongs to one of the top schools. However, Coressa's achievements are really flattering.
Moreover, although she is a girl, Coressa is very naughty at school. She is often late for class and doesn't study hard. If the teacher criticizes her, she will talk back unscrupulously.
In order to teach her daughter a lesson, let her accept a little stimulation and understand the seriousness of not studying hard, Henderson came up with an unusual educational method.
Not long ago, she asked Kresa to stand at a busy intersection in Oklahoma City, holding a big card with childish handwriting: "I don't do my homework, and I am naughty at school, so my parents told me to be mentally prepared for my future, and I will work hard for food and clothing."
On the same day, Henderson stood at the crossroads with his daughter for about an hour. Later, a passerby couldn't stand it anymore and called the police on the grounds that Henderson had psychologically insulted his daughter. The police immediately came to the scene and asked Henderson to leave quickly with his daughter.
Aroused strong repercussions and controversy.
In fact, after Henderson's strange move, his daughter Coressa seemed to be really stimulated, and then made some changes in her study. However, Henderson's move has also caused great repercussions and controversy. Many people wrote letters and called the local media. Some people agreed with her actions, while others thought that punishing her was a public humiliation for her daughter.
In a letter of condemnation, a person named Suzani wrote: "If the girl's parents don't understand that the worst result is to hurt her self-esteem, then they actually need education more than her."
Marvin Lyle, a 52-year-old local, said in an interview with the media: "I don't think there is anything wrong. Because I have seen some extreme cases where parents don't care about their children, at least this mother still wants to help her children. "
Henderson stressed that his daughter Coressa's performance in school has improved since she was educated and stimulated on the street. Henderson said frankly, "Maybe it doesn't work. I am not a person who knows how to educate children, but I think children are not bad. She at least tried to do so. "
Although it is a shame to admit her mother's punishment, Coressa, a customer, also said that since then, she has paid more attention to her study. She said quietly, "I will never talk back to the teacher again."
Donald, a professor of child development and education, warned that such an education method would cause extreme emotional harm to children. He believes that in the process of educating children, positive educational methods are actually more effective.
