Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Hard Lessons for Kids
Social order for China and math for India are extremely important to live in those extremely populous and competitive environments. But how hard is enough or effective to learn a lesson?
[1] Chinese teenagers sentenced to hard labour for bullying
Lesson for school bullying in China. Convicted offenders are put into a hard labor program including military training, though it is still a trial stage. Yes, it is quite essential for the world-most-populous country to maintain the social order from an early stage. And there is no doubt that school bullying does a lot of harm not only to the students who are intimidated but also to others in school. The question is what sort of penalty for punishment or program to rehabilitate for such students is appropriate and effective to prevent school bullying.
[2] The child's maths lesson video that is outraging India
Hard lesson to teach math in India. Does slapping the face of a child help him or her learn something, like math, any better? A video showing a three-year-old girl being forced to recognize numbers and slapped by her tutor, presumably her mother or relative, went viral.
Yes, math is indeed an essential skill in such a technology-laden environment where IT or engineering is the key to get a better life. But how and how much children learn it varies by child, like skills, such as literacy, sports, and art.
