What is the cause of tiger mother education?

"Tiger mother won." Such a title makes Chua Meier, an American "tiger mother" who is famous for her strict education and has caused heated debates between the East and the West, very happy. Her daughter recently received admission notices from two famous universities, Harvard and Yale. The New York Times said: "China's parents' education is more terrible than J-20". In the eyes of many Westerners, a large number of China children are "monopolizing" famous universities in the United States and Europe, and have begun to shake the long-standing western concept of "liberal education".

A few years ago, overseas Chinese in Canada said that in some schools in Canada, if two China children transfer to the same class, the Canadian child who studies best can only be the third. If there are eight China children, Canadian children can only rank ninth at most. In many cities in North America, with the influx of immigrants, most of the outstanding students in some public schools are Asian children, and the achievements of Chinese children are really outstanding. Therefore, the family education model of children in China has attracted people's attention.

"I'm now 18 years old, and I'm finally leaving my study. But I'm glad that you and your father can educate me like this. It is extraordinary to have a mother like you. " The US "Washington Times" quoted Sophia (Chinese name Cai Sihui) as saying on the 4th. Although Cai Sihui hasn't decided which university to go to, her strict mother can obviously safely say that her strictness has finally achieved something.

In fact, both the East and the West are rethinking their education. The West is rethinking why there are so many successful people in the East, while China is rethinking his lack of creativity and innovation.

It is reported that in 1970s, China sent an education delegation to the United States to inspect primary education. After returning home, the delegation wrote a 30,000-word report with four paragraphs in the news record:

Students, regardless of their moral quality, are cocky and full of ambition, which means "I am extraordinary because of what I have done for me".

Students in grade two of primary school don't know a word. They are still snapping their fingers when adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, and they talk about inventions all day. In their eyes, it seems like a piece of cake to let the earth fall.

Stress is beautiful physically, but it is bright in mathematics and physics. No matter in public or private schools, music, sports and beauty activities are in full swing, while mathematics and physics are neglected.

The classroom was almost out of control, and the students winked, chatted, crossed their legs and even wandered around the classroom like shopping.

The conclusion is that the basic education in the United States is terminally ill. It can be predicted that in another 20 years, China's science, technology and culture will certainly catch up with and surpass this so-called "superpower".

However, more than 30 years have passed, and only in the 20 years from 1979 to 1999, the "terminally ill" education system in the United States has trained 43 Nobel Prize winners and 197 knowledge billionaires.

Why is this prediction "wrong"? To a great extent, it stems from the fact that observers only see what can be seen and touched in American education, but they don't understand the hidden thoughts and opinions.
