Sample Sentences
如若听说一个孩子在重点学校、尖子班,班主任抓的严,或者孩子自加压力,主动要求上各种辅导班,其它家长的反应都是满满地对别人家孩子的羡慕和赞叹,好像一眼就看到了这位刻苦学习的好孩子用时间兑换出了光辉灿烂的未来。
If one hears that a child is in an "elite school", an "elite class", their homeroom teacher is "strict", or that the child is putting undue stress on himself/herself by taking additional classes, other parents usually respond with full-hearted compliments to this "other people's child", as if already seeing with a glance the bright future this good, hard-working kid is exchanging for his/her childhood.
