10-20 hours 

2-4 hours  

Not so much 

When a parent praises you for your good work in school, you will most likely want to keep doing good work to make them proud. It’s like an emotional praise. It’s not quite the same when a teacher praises you because it’s more like an achievement, rather than them being proud of you. But both make you want to keep doing good work. 

Western parents would probably think it’s something wrong with the school system rather than their children, and they would maybe also blame themselves.  

Asian parents would blame their children for not working hard enough 

We believe that the school system doesn't work for everyone. But you still need to work hard to get the grades you want. Sometimes you can’t blame anyone. 

Wester: 

• More flexible 

• Connection to the child 

• Take life easier 

• Never blames the child 

• Give their children things too easy 

Asian:  

• Too much pressure 

• Makes children insecure 

1. Deppending on the childs work ethic, grades.  

2. 30h and 5h 

3. A lott, 1h per day ca 8h on weekends 

4.  Usualy i don't talk to my parents about school work and homework. I don't like it when they interfer with my decitions. My reaction to them trying to controll my work is that I don't talk to them.

   I usally don't tell my parents about my schoolwork so they dont interfere. I do so because i don't want them to interfer my work. My parents dosen't interfere my leisure activities, i gues it's because they have no problem with my leisure activities. If my parents would interfere i would get disapointed.

5. it is important but don't over do it.

6. you have yourself to blame. western parents blame the teatcher. Asians blame the child.

   d) wPros, You are free,

   wcons, your fredome makes you lazy.

   aPros, you do well in scoohl.

   aCons, lack of freedom.

2. It depends on how much schoolwork we have.  On average 5-10 hours at least. But it really depends. 

3. The hours of leisure time really depend on schoolwork and the mood I’m in. Our goal is to have more leisure time than schoolwork. But approximately about 20 hours. 

4. No, not usually at least. They always ask if i have a test or homework but in the end it’s always me who has the responsibilities. As for leisure activities I mostly choose my time on my own. Of course, there as some times when they can suggest what i should do, but i decide over my own activities. 

5. Parents should praise their kid when they do something good, but not with words, simply actions and words of affirmation. We believe that giving money as a reward can be very ineffective since it makes the work more about gaining than learning. As for teachers and students, it’s important to not praise a single person in front of a whole class. It should be done when the teacher is alone with a student. Praise from a teacher can be effective and make someone proud of their work and achievements. 

6. It’s mostly yourself that is to blame. It’s you that should leisten in class and try to learn. The teachers will also have a responsibilityof teaching but in the end it comes down to the person who’s learning. Accordning ti western parents thay belive it has a lot to do with the teachers but to a certain grade also the kid, or the one who’s learning. They would never blame the kids with harsh or disrespecful words though. And lastly, as for Asian parents, they are very strict and will simply blame the kid for not trying enough, for not being good enough and not reaching the expectede grade. 

Pros Western: 

• Methodical, sympathetic and ethical, uses a way of praising instead of comments that hurt the self esteem 

Cons Western: 

• Too nice with a small amount of discipline and too much blame on the teachers  

Pros Chinese 

• The work gets done and they will become more unaffected by mean comments, more prepared for a harsh future. 

Cons Chinese 

• Hurt, too much work, low self- esteem, tired, reaching high expectations for themselves. 

·         Very demure amounts of pressure, It depends based on the subject and in turn high pressure can lead to anxiety and depression. Low pressure can lead to a child slacking after and choosing the wrong path in life. High pressure in social situations and lower in school.

·         Depending on the amount of homework, some weeks as high as 5 hours and some 0 hours. If there is a test scheduled, you need to study more

·         Every hour that’s not a scheduled lesson is leisure time.

·         Our parents do not interfere with our schoolwork, but they do in our leisure activities.

·         A little praise is good but not too much.

·         According to Asian parents its completely the student’s fault, they didn’t put in enough work and hours. Meanwhile western parents try to blame the curriculum and the teachers.

2. We spend about one hour a week to study.

3. There is about 6 hours left for leisure activites.

4. No, not really but they don't really interfere with leisure activites

5. Praise is an important part of parenting as it is a way to encourage your child without harming their mental health. It is also importat with teachers, although there is a diffrent relationship.

6. We agree that most times it's the students fault, though there are some situations were it's the teachers fault
