Tiger moms want their children to be more competitive so that they can enter the best schools. But school is only one period in a person’s life. What about real life? What kind of independence will these children have once they grow up?

　　Today, children don’t get the chance to discuss or choose what they want: learn to play the violin or piano; take up drawing or swimming. Their tiger moms decide for them.

　　Ideally, parents should discuss with their children, give them a choice and explain to them that they will have to finish what they start. This would help children develop not only their judgment but also their sense of responsibility.

　　The solution to this problem is total reform of the education sector. And the government knows that. But reform needs time. We can only hope the reform is completed before today’s children become the “sacrificed generation”.

　　But we need to reform the existent mindset(思维模式) more than the education sector(部门). Education is not only about memorizing books and taking exams. Therefore, we should stop seeing kindergartens as “schools”, and ensure all schools have the same standards, and bookish knowledge is enriched by knowledge from other sources, from society and life itself.

　　Mothers are not to be blamed for the present situation, for in their desire to provide the best education for their children they become victims of social trends. But let’s hope the Chinese view of education will change, gradually if not rapidly, to the benefit of children, families and society as a whole.
