In big cities, there is a phenomenon that some parents decide to leave their jobs to keep their children accompany in school when their children reach Senior Grade Three. There are both advantages and disadvantages over this action.
在大城市里，出现了这样的一个现象，一些父母在孩子到了高三的时候决定放弃他们的工作陪着孩子去读书。这一现象既有优势也有劣势。
On the one hand, it is convenient for parents to take care of their children. They can help their children to do some basic things, such as washing clothes so that their children can get more time to study. Living nearly or live with their children, they can save much time on the way between home and school. In addition, parents are able to observe the changes in their children’s mood and give them some leads in time so that their children would not so easier to feel confused and disappointed when they meet some troubles.
一方面，这便于父母照顾孩子。他们可以帮他们的孩子做一些基本的事情，如洗衣服，这样他们的孩子就可以获得更多的时间来学习。和他们的孩子住在一起或者离得很近，他们也可以节约家跟学校来回的时间。此外，父母可以观察到孩子的情绪变化，及时给他们一些引导，这样他们的孩子在遇到困难时就不会那么容易感到困惑和失望。
However, on the other hand, this kind of action also has some negative impacts on their children. In the first place, it enhances their children’s dependence upon their parents, which increases the difficulty in developing children’s ability of independence. Second, parent’s keeping their children accompany in school gives more pressure to their children unconsciously, which is opposite to parents’ original intention. Finally, living with parents all the time leads to lack of communication with their peers and classmates, and that’s not good for children’s integrated development.
然而，另一方面，这种行为对于孩子也会有负面影响。首先，这增加了孩子对父母的依赖性，也就增加了培养孩子独立性的难度。第二，家长陪读会在无形中给孩子更大的压力，这和父母的初衷是相反。最后，一直跟父母一起住会导致与同伴和同学沟通不良，这是不利于孩子的全面发展的。
As far as I am concerned, it is unnecessary for parents to keep their children accompany in school in that living alone is ultimately a basic skill everyone should master.
就我而言，家长陪读是没有必要的，因为独自生活是每个人都应该掌握的一个基本技能。 |
