【正文】 They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children bee mature young adults. As we all know, school work is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What39。s more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to municate effectively. As a rule, Chinese parents don39。t educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.
