"If you force children to memorize Tang and Song poems, English words, or the Three Character Classic before they are six years old, it is a form of forced memorization."
"This method is not suitable for children, because children's brains are highly plastic at this stage. If this method is used, it will affect children's creativity."
Principal Zhang used various materials to prove that these parents were making wrong decisions at this time.
However, the effect is very general.
"Okay, we all went through this when we were kids, so what's wrong with that? The child is not that spoiled, so just add a first-grade course and be done with it." An old man said with his hands behind his back.
"What do you think?" Tang Wan stretched her neck and asked.
Lin Yi held Guoguo in his arms and gently rubbed her little face, saying with a smile: "How can I bear to let my daughter bear such great academic pressure at such a young age."
"I just hope she can be relaxed and happy. If she doesn't want to, I won't let her go to kindergarten." Lin Yi showed a doting smile.
"I think so too. Our life was hard enough back then. How can I let my child suffer like this? I will never agree to it." Tang Wan said softly.
While the two were talking, the parents at the scene began a large-scale voting activity.
There were a total of nineteen parents present, and nine of them voted in favor and against, which was exactly a fifty-fifty split.
There is only one person left who has not voted, and his vote will play a decisive role.
"Dad, what are the parents talking about?" Guoguo's childish voice sounded beside Lin Yi's ears.
The little one is still young and has no idea what the parents are doing or why they are holding such a meeting.
Lin Yi said briefly: "Let's discuss whether or not to give you more courses."
Guoguo immediately shook her head and said, "No, Guoguo doesn't want to go to class. Guoguo just wants to play."
"You little girl." Lin Yi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Mr. Lin, what is your choice?" Principal Zhang's eyes fell on Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked around and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him, waiting for his vote so that they could end this parent-teacher meeting and get back to their own business.
Lin Yi stood up, looked at the parents present seriously, and said: "I have always wanted to ask myself, what kind of person do I want my daughter to become?"
"A person who is so accomplished and outstanding, with perfect scores in every subject?"
"No, I just want her to be an ordinary person. I want her to live a simple and carefree childhood.
"How many times can a person have a childhood in his life? Only once, just a few short years, time flies, it's gone in a flash."
"In just a few years, are we parents going to force them to do something that is incompatible with their childhood?"
"Several parents have said that our childhoods were very difficult, which is true, but check your conscience, was your childhood happy?"
"If you are not happy, then why do you want to let such a tragedy happen to your children again?"
Lin Yi took a deep breath, his eyes were moist and hot, he looked at Guoguo.
He knew that the little guy must not understand what he was saying.
But it doesn’t matter. Many years later, when she looks back on it, she will definitely say that dad was so handsome.
"I object! In my opinion, it is a hundred times more important for your children to have correct values than any grades."
"If one day my daughter grows up, I hope she will not do evil, be mean, have low self-esteem, be a saint, or be promiscuous. She will be confident but not proud, and be able to see clearly between right and wrong."
