3岁幼童CEO气质培训班、儿童皇家马术、儿童高尔夫暑期夏令营……暑期,不少家长给孩子报名参加各类培训班,成为一些孩子的“第三学期”。这些带着“贵族气质”“私人订制”色彩的培训学费动辄数万元,引起了外媒的关注。
Children as young as three are being enrolled in “CEO courses” in China as pushy parents become obsessed with giving their offspring an advantage over their young peers.
中国那些要强的家长们把年仅三岁的孩子送去上“CEO培训班”,目的是让自己的孩子相比小同龄人能更胜一筹。
据外媒报道,在中国的一家早教中心开设的领导力课程中,这些幼童将学会区分真假朋友(real and fake friendships),以及处理朋友之间发生的冲突的技巧(techniques in dealing with conflicts among friends)。
在广州一家培养儿童CEO的“国际”培训机构,“培养CEO气质课程”包括以填空为主的思维训练课、以动手能力为主的模具组装等。这种培训班通常学费都很昂贵,有的CEO培训班一年学费高达5万元人民币。记者在调查中发现,不少类似的儿童天价培训班以“高端”“贵族”为噱头,而课程实质内容与托管班(daycare)相差无几。
有的早教中心则把目标瞄准了更小的孩子,沈阳一家早教中心针对6个月的新生儿开设了管理培训生课程(“management trainee” course),声称该课程能帮小宝宝建立信心。
在中国,带孩子上课外班(extra-curricular classes)非常流行,放暑假的时候,许多家长都会让孩子去参加夏令营(summer camps)。给孩子报的班以体育类、艺术类和传统教育科目为主。
那些宣称提供精英教育和西方教育的机构尤其受到家长的青睐,如儿童皇家马术(royal equestrianism courses for young kids)、儿童高尔夫暑期夏令营(golf summer camps for little children)等课程。
一些家长花钱给孩子报班,追求“优雅气质”“精英教育”等高端培训,往往是家长自己的兴趣所在或者“跟风”报班,很少考虑孩子的感受。专家警告说,这种盲目的培训不仅可能学无所获,还会导致孩子对其他课外兴趣产生厌恶情绪。
