An\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/y1pQP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">essay<\/a>\u00a0Heather Kaye, an American citizen who lived 16 years in China, writes in The New York Times \u201cYes.\u201d However, for someone like me who was born in China, her essay revealed many misunderstandings about Chinese culture and people. It also highlighted the importance of being a parent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaye is a fashion designer and has two daughters with her husband in China. Kaye didn\u2019t seek out the Chinese government to co-parent, but she had little choice. She wrote: \u201cIn China, government co-parenting begins in the womb.\u201d Beijing may have relaxed its population control after a \u201cone-child\u201d policy \u201cthree-child\u201d policy, but it&#8217;s clear that Xi still wants control over how many children a Chinese couple may have.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaye says that her co-parenting with an authoritarian, intrusive government was one of the main benefits for her girls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Parents actually play a major role <\/p>\n<p>She believed that the Chinese government had taken the pressure off her and her husband to instill good values in their daughters. Take, for example: \u201cour girls came home discussing self-discipline, integrity and respect for elders. With school instilling a solid work ethic and a total drive for academic excellence, my husband and I didn\u2019t need to push the girls to complete homework; the shame of letting their teachers and classmates down was enough to light their fires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Truth is, we Chinese learn these cultural values from our parents before we go to school. Teachers reinforce these cultural values with a political twist \u2014 equating respecting the authorities with obeying the Communist Party and loving the party as patriotism.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese parents don\u2019t get to relax as Kaye did after sending their kids to school because schools hold parents accountable for their kids\u2019 behavior and academic performances. A Chinese student who disrespected his teacher the first day would be called by the school to report his parents for poor parenting.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese schools are very competitive. No matter how hard you study, only 30% of high school graduates are qualified to take the national college entrance exam. Teachers, students, parents, and other family members feel pressured by this level of competition. Chinese teachers use frequent tests to identify students\u2019 weaknesses in each subject. Each test result must be signed by parents to show that they have understood the needs of their children. Parents are often urged or even nag by teachers to send their children to outside academies on weekends and evenings to encourage them to learn more. At parent-teacher conferences, parents of kids who haven\u2019t improved their grades will be shamed for not caring enough for their kids\u2019 future. <\/p>\n<p>For many Chinese parents, having the Chinese government as a co-parent doesn\u2019t offer relief, it only adds more stress. Financial pressure and the emotional anxiety of raising a child in China are some of the main reasons why the government\u2019s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heather Kaye&#8217;s praise of China\u2019s education system overlooks how it forces propaganda on young minds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":536,"featured_media":1821156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[15620,11981,4894,16189,4247,14917],"class_list":["post-1821153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-co-parent","tag-dictator","tag-dont","tag-jinping","tag-kids","tag-sake"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1821153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/536"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1821153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1821153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1821156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1821153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1821153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1821153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
