在这个拥挤的星球上,有谁不为生活质量和对资源的分配而操心呢?西方国家教育界存在的一个普遍问题就是:真正的教育平等很难实现。“虎妈”的话题,无疑是由冬至春、席卷美国的一场“沙尘暴”。但这一话题,也并不为所有美国人所知。在笔者所任教的大学,大多数学生并不知道何为虎妈,但教授们对此都有着相当的了解。笔者的美国同事说,这是因为年轻一代早已不再看杂志、报纸,恐怕也不大看电视新闻,而对知识分子或教育界人士而言,这无疑是无法绕过的话题。二月,笔者的系主任特别转来一篇发表于《国家》杂志上的文章,题为《虎妈综合征》。系主任告诉我,《国家》杂志是美国知识界一家非常重要的媒体,虽然对外的知名度并不如《纽约时报》或《时代周刊》那样显赫。
On this crowded planet, who does not care about the quality of life and the distribution of resources? A common problem in the educational circles in Western countries is that true educational equality is hard to come by. “Tiger mother ” topic, no doubt by the winter solstice, swept the United States a “sandstorm ”. But this topic is not known to all Americans. In the university I teach, most students do not know what tiger mom is, but professors all have a good understanding of it. The author’s American colleague said this is because the younger generation no longer watches magazines and newspapers, nor am I afraid that they will not watch television news. This is undoubtedly an issue that can not be circumvented for intellectuals or educators. In February, the author’s department chief specifically sent an article published in the “Nation” magazine entitled “Tiger Mom Syndrome.” The department director told me that Nation magazine is a very important media for the American intelligentsia, although its external visibility is not as prominent as the New York Times or Time Magazine.
