A few things have happened recently that have made me really think
about my young little cousin and their role in this world. Actually,
more to the point, the obstacles that they will navigate around as they
grow into women.
Last week I was invited (invited? i am laughing at myself that i still
can use this word) to participate my cousin`s (she is 13) School
Session, she had an argument with her English teacher at her classroom,
slapped the door and walked out. Her teacher was really annoyed and
wanted to meet the parents and gave an explaination, rather i would say
explain how she was disrespectful to him as, to a teacher in the
classroom, in front of so many of his students, he felt humiliated(in
chinese they say "lose face").
My cousin went home after the door slab and cried for long time without
saying anything, she felt wronged or she felt regreted of her impolite
to the teacher, her feeling was complex. After a long talk to her
mother and find out that she was wrong, and teacher should be respected
even he did or said something wrong to a student. She had to say sorry
to the teacher in that afternoon after class.
That is fair, i want to say. or i don`t know. I have been to her school
with my aunt and met her teacher, a techer who is in charge of her
class and the other one is the English teacher. He was a little nervous
i could see from her face, but he never said sorry or anything like
that, to show he might be wrong. As oppose, my aunt said sorry to him
instead of her daughter`s disrespectful to him.
The story is a bit long, hopefully you are not bored to read through.
But if you have similar experience you would understand what i am
trying to say...
One particular little girl didn’t stay quiet and spoke out her
discontent to her teacher, what she had done might be not a girl was
supposed to do from our traditional points od view. I was very
impressed with her boldness. Near the end of the session, As I watched
her, I thought, our society really wants girls to sit quietly and
behave themselves, doesn’t it?. (Don’t they? Which is it?) I neither
reward her for her boldness, nor her disrespectfulness, or what she
did. While she may have been quietly obeying the rules, she was
expressing herself with abundance. That’s what I liked about her.
Another thing always bothering me is the Chinese Public Education.From
the angle of that teacher, he has more than 50 students in a class and
he is teaching 3 classes or more. I am myself a teacher, i don`t have
anything to say about his responsibility to his students, but how much
he can do? he said that If i can`t manage to teach her well, i will put
her at the back part of the classroom and she can do whatever she wants
to do as long as she dosen`t bother other students who wants to learn.
Two thoughts,
1, girl power nowadays
2, Public education
What can we do? any comments?
