Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar

September is around the comer, and some of us are already complaining about summer's end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child's day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts.

Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment”, three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pick up time. What happened to unstructured time?

2.結(jié)合上述信息,簡要分析可能導致這一結(jié)果的原因;

Answer 1

【答案】Nowadays, many parents choose to send children to special classes because of their busy schedules. However, children’s time shouldn’t be occupied this way and parents shouldn’t transfer their own burden to children.

There are many reasons accounting for this phenomenon. In the first place, a generous explanation is that many parents enjoy giving children opportunities they never had. They believe that time spent in these classes is somehow beneficial to children. In the second place, a child’s time doesn’t have to be planned to be meaningful. Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time for dinner. Moreover, with the majority of mothers working, many parents would like to reduce the guilt of spending less time with their children.

In my opinion, parents should be informed how dangerous the situation will be to their children’s development and health. Besides, whatever they involve, there is no excuse for burdening their child.
