Many mothers and fathers try to compare kids in America and in China. My question is whether it is necessary to compare. I am pretty sure that 99% Chinese American kids will live in America and 99% of Chinese kids will live in China. It is very difficult to say who is right and wrong to raise up kids in different country. But one thing I know for sure is that American kids can do better than Chinese kids in America and Chinese kids can do better than American kids in China. As a father and a mother, we should raise our kids to fit the country and society where the kids live. Otherwise, it may be very difficult and helpless to raise up our kids.
Another question is how many of our kids will marry with Chinese kids in China and how many Chinese kids will marry American kids. Very few if none. So No Worry about the difference between the two kids in two countries.
The third question is how many American kids will have job or work related with China. It seems a lot. But we will realize that it is not that much at all either if we make a study and a comparison of job market in China and in America, which our American kids will be involved. The percentage of job and work that our American kids get in China or China related are quite small. Again No Worry about the difference between the two kids in two countries.
However, it is good to know the difference between the two kids in two countries just as we should know any other knowledge. Knowledge is powerful. Besides, most Chinese American kids have relatives of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins in China. It will be a great help for our American kids to know Chinese kids better unless we don’t have any contact with them at all. But we just don’t need to spend too much on this difference.
Again it is not fair to say Chinese kids are better or American kids are better. But we do have to realize OVERALL which society and education is better though any society and education have good side as well as bad one. Education and society shape and change a person. So which society and education OVERALL is better, China or America? Does No Worry need to answer this question? If I need, let me ask another question if you are in America. Why do we come to America far away from our hometown and far away from our dear relatives and friends? I don’t believe that it is good experience of far away from them.
