“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good” are what my mother used to say years ago when I had to learn French , clean my room, stay at home and do homework.

However, today the story is quite different. Most parents take a let-alone policy. We parents stopped making our children do homework. We gave them computers, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on holiday.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, come to know that we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher says of her students ---“so passive(被动)”

and believes their passivity has something to do with TV. “We are talking about a generation of children who have never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will do it for them. Instead of saying “go and do it yourself”, we tell them the answer. It takes great courage to say “no” to a child.

Yes, It’s time for parents to end their holidays and come back to work. It’s time to turn the TV off, to tell them “it hurts me more than you” and “it’s for their own good”. It’s time to start telling them “no” again.

Suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to New York to take part in an important meeting. I had to get up and after a quick breakfast. I hurried to the airport. The taxi went slowly and I missed the first flight. I had to take the next one. It meant I would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room.
