Her article shows how she changed her mind and why she believes that an authoritarian and disciplined approach is better than allowing three year olds to exercise independent judgment.Let's not ignore the fact that Chu did exactly what you would have done.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-38587812291090967742017-09-11T11:45:01.935-07:002017-09-11T11:45:01.935-07:00Thank you for demonstrating the logical fallacy kn...Thank you for demonstrating the logical fallacy known as "excluded middle."<br /><br /><i>Inexplicably, some readers found yesterday’s post about Chinese elementary school education to be slightly offensive. They even believed that Chinese teachers had engaged in unacceptable child abuse</i>.<br /><br />As one of those inexplicable readers, let me amplify: I'd agree as a parent to a certain level of physical punishment, which would not include force feeding. If that happened, I'd have words with "Teacher Chen". if my kid wound up choking, I'd tear off "Teacher Chen's" head while explaining that "teacher" is a job description, not a title.Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873320680596889057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-74407505360112732122017-09-10T13:39:07.501-07:002017-09-10T13:39:07.501-07:00They hate children; truly, they do.
