今天早上,在电梯遇见Poh Gek, 两个妈妈自然而然地谈起孩子来。就这样谈起托儿所的事情,总觉得,孩子们都在同一间托儿所,可是大家学的似乎不大一样。老大进小学时,我根本不必担心。老二只是不大懂汉语拼音,可是到了老三似乎什么都不会。真担心到了老四会怎么样呢?
Poh Gek说时代不同了,你不可以拿去年的事和今年比,更何况他们都隔了两年。现在不是父母怕输,我们必须跟得上时代,一定要送孩子去小一预备班,不然怕他小一跟不上别人,因为大多数的孩子都有上这些课程。听了以后,我真的吓了一跳! 我真的跟不上时代吗?
他打了个比方,班上大多数的学生都会了,老师当然继续教下去,难道会为了一两个同学而停下脚步吗?听了也似乎有道理。。。难道这个时代的孩子不再有童年了吗?他们的童年不再是绿油油的草地,蓝蓝的天空了,而是四面墙的课室,数不尽的英文字母,数目字。哇!想着想着,星星也在我的头上跳舞了!!!
难怪,健良的妈妈在他一年级的时候已经想好要把他送进哪一间中学了! 这正是所谓的long term planning吧。
