Reflections:
I feel that some Chinese Mothers are more superior than Western Mothers while some are not. The article states that Chinese Mothers can do a better job in helping their children get better grades than Western Mothers. This is not fully true. Some Western Children nowadays perform much better than some Chinese children. As far as I know or have thought, Western Children has always received better grades. Some Chinese Children received better grades as their parents are more "Kiasu", by sending them to many tuition centers. With this external help, Chinese children can do better. Chinese children are more restricted and are highly-expected by their parents. Chinese Mothers do authoritative parenting of their child while Western Mothers do permissive parenting. Authoritative parenting is better as the child will be more disciplined while permissive parenting makes the child spoilt. In my primary school, there were a few Western people who performed very well. Most of the Chinese performed worse than them, with exception to the top few classes. This is why I feel that Chinese Mothers and Western Mothers are equal. They have different teaching methods, but Chinese Mothers cannot be regarded as more superior. Some Chinese Children perform good, some Chinese Children perform bad. It is mostly relied on the external help these children receive or the amount of attention the children pays in class. You cannot just say that Chinese Mothers are more superior since SOME Chinese children perform better than SOME western children. In the article, there is a stereo type being formed. The writer states that Chinese mothers are better, which also implies that Chinese is better than Western people. There could be a stereo type, which means that the writer dislikes the Western community or something like that. It MAY only be a judgment, but it is also quite clear that the writer seems to dislike the Western race.
