82. Parents’ distress

Yuan Fang: The birth rate of the population is not high nowadays. Do you plan to have a second child?

Yajing: One child is enough, but I dare not think about the second child.

Yueting: It’s not bad to think about it, it’s really difficult to do it. If you don’t talk about a big house, it’s annoying enough for children to educate them. If you push everything to parents, why do you eat for your school?

Yuan Fang: I am tired enough to go to work every day, so I go home to do my homework at night.

Yajing: What is called homework? It’s just a sin!

Yueting: It is popular nowadays, what can you do if you are a big trend?

Yuan Fang: I help my child with homework, and my lungs are irritated from time to time. I still don’t understand after saying it once or twice. It’s really a pity that makes me sad.

Yajing: There is also a special off-campus teaching class, and there are special people to send children to the evening to provide tutoring.

Yueting: Most of the monthly salary is spent on children’s off-campus tutoring.

Yuan Fang: The one-on-one tutoring fee is even more amazing.

Yajing: I don’t know what went wrong. In the past, children completed their homework independently, so I heard of this class and that class.

Yueting: I don’t know if the teacher’s ability is not enough to ask parents to come, or if the competition is too crazy to force the children to attend various tutoring classes.

Yuan Fang: It’s hard to explain, it’s not easy to raise children.

Yajing: So I quickly quit the second child, so I can be temporarily quiet.

Yueting: I feel that it is not just assigning homework for children, but clearly assigning homework for parents. The teacher is clean and the parents work overtime, which makes people live ten years less.

Yuan Fang: It is useless to blame others, and I deeply reflect on the problem of the way out. My uncle's two children, but my mother and mother never ask about it, and her academic performance is not bad at all. They hardly see them tutoring their children, but they often take them to play when they are free. The way out lies in cultivating the good habit of completing homework independently. My two nieces also have good living habits and the habit of reading extracurricular books.

Yueting: Good habits make a good life, and it is not easy to cultivate it. If you have electronic products at home, you are afraid that you can't concentrate. If you don't want to buy a mobile phone for your children, the teacher has to assign homework on it. It's really a dilemma.

Yuan Fang: There is no way to do this in the overall environment.

Yajing: The way out lies in not blindly chasing the wind, and focus on developing several good habits.

Yueting: I'm afraid it's easier said than done, it's far from as simple as you and I imagined.

Yuan Fang: Only by facing difficulties can we fully liberate.

Yajing: Some parents are really brave and their children can teach them to be outstanding at home.

Yueting: After all, that's a minority, I can only think about it.

Yuan Fang: The focus is on cultivating good habits and resisting all external interference.

Yajing: I dare not think about my second child, so I can take a step and take a look.
