记得多年前我在国内读初中时,背过英文课本里的几句话,good, better, best. Never let it rest. 这就是说,好了还要更好。当年我在国内接受的教育理念,正在不知不觉中影响着我对孩子们今天在美国的教育。我和那位广州妈妈一样,也见不得孩子们在放学后无所事事的样子。孩子们哪,对不住了,不管你在学校怎么样,你还是要继续加油,好了还要好上加好,懂吗?不用功,你能最好吗?

It’s not that I like to flaunt my English, it's only because typing Chinese takes me forever (never learned how to type Chinese). To be honest with you, my way of blogging in English doesn't expect people like you to read my comments, it is just my way to contribute my two cents, to respond to the writer... If you find out my English is difficult to understand, that’s because you are not a native speaker….

it is not that the English are not as baihuo as Americans, actually the Brits speak better English.... the only difference is Americans are more confident, feel superior/ USA is still the most powerful country in the world. When you live in your own country, and speak your own language, you will see there is no reason that you are not competent…. It is the same theory that people from Beijing are the most baihuo people in China….

My two cents is that not Americans students don't work hard, while Chinese students do at school. The difference is that American students do not work hard the same way the Chinese students do. Chinese students work very hard on the text books, whiles American students seem play a lot, but when they even play, theylearn stuff too e.g communication, how to get along with others, how to express yourself well or better…. While you play with other kids, you can always learn something as well…. This part of learning process is always ignored by Chinese parents…
I can understand our first generation of Chinese immigrants are usually not Baihuo, but all the ABCs really should really be just like any other Americans, learn to be expressive, open, and Baihuo. I am the only Chinese in our team/ 17 people, I’ve learned to be Baihuo as much as possible, otherwise you will not be heard....
