In our moden life now there’s always a variety of choices for everything, so we get to evaluate the good and bad in everything we do. But, what is the minimum standard that makes something good and what’s the point where it becomes bad?
在現代的生活環境中,任何事都有多重的選擇,不同的價格,不同的風格…所以我們對於任何選擇開始分辨好和壞,例如:哪家早餐比較好吃?哪家飲料店最好喝?哪家學校比較好?在我們及於分辨及選擇時是否曾經想過:何謂”好”?”不好”的標準是什麼?
There are some parents discussing with me about how to choose a good kindergarten or a good English class for their kids. The answer I have is, “It doesn’t matter how other people comment about the kindergarten or class, the most important ponits are these. First, are you sure what kind of education or environment you want for your kids? Second, every kid is unique and do you know what suits your kid the best?” Whatever answer you come out with then that’s the best choice, in other words, even if there are a lot people commenting about how bad the school is but your kid is really happy there then that is a good school for your kids even though the other people disagree.
最近許多家長和我討論”哪家幼稚園好?”哪家補習班好?”我認為:父母應先思考自己希望給孩子什麼樣的環境,因為同為母親的我了解,如果父母本身不認同該校或該系統的教育是無法放心的將孩子交給他人的.其次,也是最重要的,每個孩子都是獨特的,即使大方向的需求是相同的但由於個人天生的氣質不同難免會有些因人而異的心理需求及差異性,而這最重要的一點常會被”不要輸在起跑點”或”父母要給孩子最好的”給掩蓋了!不管有多少人或誰告訴你那是ㄧ家不好的學校,只要你的孩子在該環境中能在身心靈皆快樂的狀況下學習,成長,那就是好學校.
