Now many parents sent their children to training school,children take many classes on weekend,one of my friends told me they don't want to take classes,just parents asked them. we know parents just hope children well,but we must consider children's time ,it's must choose suitble for them and children interested their classes,.what do you think of children choose training classes?

I think education now a days must evolve for the needs of the modern children, it should respond to the appropriate needs of the day rather than the traditional way we knew but this still works in the contrary but there are now few alternative education programs.

i agree with you ,it shoud change the tradion education rather than examation-oriented education,it should focus on the improvement of comprehensive ability.

Hello xx. It is true that many Chinese parents send their children to training schools to learn something related to their study or something that helps develop their talents. It can be good to the children, but not always if they are not happy to. I hold the view that children need to spend their time by their own in the way they prefer as a way of relaxation from a week's study. Of course, if the children are happy with what they study, that is a different thing.

I think many children are overworked by their parents. In my opinion, childhood should be dedicated to "running around like an ar$e", thinking, dreaming, playing with friends, getting muddier and muddier... It's no fun having to work on the weekend, even as an adult - it must be mind-numbing for kids. (Fortunately, I never had to find out.) Parents who pressure their kids in this way risk doing long-term damage. If a child expresses an interest - for example, I was always fascinated by dinosaurs () and so my parents took me to museums on the weekend - then that's great; but if it is more the case that the parents are living through their children, I'm against it.
