“虎妈”一年后态度大转变
<p>《虎妈战歌》一书的作者蔡美儿近日接受采访，回顾成为“虎妈”一年来的生活转变。令人意外的是，这位奉行“棍棒底下出才子”的母亲竟然来个180度大转弯，宣称自己现在是“和善、懂得放手的家长”。</p><p>2011年1月8日，《华尔街日报》刊登了《虎妈战歌》的内容摘要，介绍了蔡美儿如何以中国式教育方法管教两个女儿。这位耶鲁大学的法学女教授从不允许她的两个女儿出去玩或看电视，还要求学习成绩绝不能低于<span word="A">A</span>；两个女儿要在严密监督下练习乐器，一次练琴的时间就长达几个小时，如果不从，蔡美儿便会对其严加管教。“虎妈”的教育方法轰动美国教育界，她也因此饱受外界批评。蔡美儿一再强调，她的书并不是父母教育儿女的指南，而是为人母十余年的回忆录。</p><p><span word="Has">Has</span> <span word="Tiger">Tiger</span> <span word="Mom">Mom</span> <span word="gone">gone</span> <span word="soft">soft</span>? <span word="One">One</span> <span word="year">year</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="release">release</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="controversial">controversial</span> <span word="memoir">memoir</span>, "<span word="Battle">Battle</span> <span word="Hymn">Hymn</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Tiger">Tiger</span> <span word="Mother">Mother</span>," <span word="Amy">Amy</span> <span word="Chua">Chua</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="back">back</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="spotlight">spotlight</span>, <span word="reflecting">reflecting</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="overnight">overnight</span> <span word="infamy">infamy</span> <span word="affected">affected</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="life">life</span>, <span word="her">her</span> <span word="family">family</span> -- <span word="and">and</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="parenting">parenting</span>.</p><p>"<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="ve">ve</span> <span word="changed">changed</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span>," <span word="she">she</span> <span word="told">told</span> <span word="The">The</span> <span word="Huffington">Huffington</span> <span word="Post">Post</span>.
