They feel hea vy pressuresfrom their parents. Most students are always told by their par ents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in th e future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough.

Such students felt that they are hated by ev eryone else they meet and they don‟t want to go to school any longer. Th ey become dropouts.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they ar e not able to help their children and that it is the teachers‟ work to help th eir children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends —they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the stud ents‟ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psycholog ists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the stude nts.

Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had n o choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs.I heard no more of the baby‟s crying that night and the next morning whe n I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby‟s behavior(行为)for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he o nly spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I find that our students don‟t read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teac h it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby,however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight ag ainst it? Let them watch what they want！1. Why did the father bring a TV set into his son‟s room?A. To enjoy some interesting programs together with his son.B.
