Group discussion by Yuet Mui Yuen https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty Why and how can parentocracy contribute to educational inequality? It is said that “tiger parent” parenting style is more preferred in a rapid society like Hong Kong. Do you agree? en-us 2018-09-30 16:50:34 UTC 2018-10-03 08:55:13 UTC hello@padlet.com 1155064865 菲力 1155063417 toni https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288485633 1.我認同這說法
因為這些由家長安排資源都更有助學生了解現今教育制度又在這制度下表現更出色。社經地位較高的家長自然有能力資源給自己小朋友，而這些資源是課外及校外的。

2.不同意，因為當今教育制度下最希望帶給同學自主學習。在sdt(self-determination theory)中 其實是要給予學生 1.自主自由
2.連繫感，但在虎媽的管理方法下 其實小朋友未能有自由去選擇學什麼， 在高壓的情況下 我相信小朋友會是怕家長多於與家長的關係close.]]> 2018-10-03 07:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288485633 1155064289 Cheung Chun Yin 1155064178 Wong Yui Hang https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288488074 1. 家長主義與教育不平等的關係在於家長的背景能直接影響教育資源的分配從而有一定機率把不合適的資源分配到不合適的學生身上，泛指讓能力不足的學生享有優良資源的傾斜。

2. 相對認同，因為香港的節奏導致當學生沒有足夠自主性會不能享有足夠的機會及資源。]]> 2018-10-03 08:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288488074 LUK HIU LAAM, LI HIU WANG, LAU YIN LING, CHOY SIU FUNG, CHIN CHI HO, CHEUNG KA WAI https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288488213 Parentocracy contributes to educational inequality in the following ways: 
1. Children of parents' who have close relationships with teachers tend to receive more attention and assistance from teachers
2. Parents with higher education level tend to give more opinions to schools (which is not necessarily constructive) that can cause a gap btw education received by students 

Question 2:
We do not agree! 
- A strict and pushy parenting can burden a child both psychologically and physically 
- When a parent pushes a child to learn/ achieve more that exceeds his/ her capability,  there will be a washback effect 
- When a child puts too much time and effort on learning, they may neglect their whole-person development]]> 2018-10-03 08:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288488213 1155078559, 1155079419, 1155078563, 1155064178 bccf_chan2 https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288488310  家長主導子女的教育，為他們安排大量興趣班，希望子女出人頭地，看重子女的學業前景，令其他同齡兒童對比下資源較少。家長教育水平高，明白教育制度及部份學校根據家長社經地位收生，例如傳統名校。因此，會造成不平等。 
 
我們同意。 
虎媽為子女在最快捷途徑下提升競爭力，所以為子女安排一切，令他們在這個強調效率的社會中生存，  從而增加向上流動機會。

1) Well-educated and rich parents are able to provide more resources for supporting the education of their children. Their children can attend different after-school tutorial classes and become more competitive among their peers, whereas children from low-income families may rely on additional support provided by schools only. This contributes to the educational inequality in Hong Kong.
2) Yes, it is preferred but it is detrimental to the mental health development of children.

而虎媽模式符合香港快速發展社會，因為香港強調成績及學歷，而一種高壓的相處可以促使孩子的學習，有更好的將來。]]> 2018-10-03 08:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288488645 1155076012 Wong Chung Hei Elliot1155078275 Chau Sin Yi Sanny1155079642 To hiu yin Yin1155079367 Zhu Zihao Marco1155077806 Ho Sheung Kwan1155079207 Ho Tze Yau Rachel https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288489060 Different family backgrounds can provide different resources to the kids, for example, cultural and economic capital. Besides resources, parents have different requirements for their students. i think that tiger mum is not the preferred parenting style in Hong Kong, as it provides too much pressure on students, and thus not creating a good environment for students to grow and live with people nearby.]]> 2018-10-03 08:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288489060 Chan kin Ying (1155062733), Chan suet yi (1155064466), Cheung ka man (1155064125) Chau Hiu kwan (1155063905), tang hei man (1155064645), Lo king Yeung (1155063455), Li Tsz Yuen( 1155063599) https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288489373 1、一些家庭條件比較好，或者家長比較嚴厲的家庭，可能會投放更多資源在子女身上，從而令到子女贏在起跑線。而一些比較弱勢的家庭，或者基層的家庭，則未必能夠投放較多資源。另外一些雙職的家庭可能也比較少時間陪伴和管教子女，令到兒童的成長不及有全職媽媽或者爸爸照顧來得好，這樣的話，便會構成教育不公平。
2、雖然香港很講求效率，虎媽的管教方式看似很適合香港，但教育的主導權還是應該要回饋給孩子。現時香港教育主張「學生為本」，老師處處以學生的學習情況為考慮前題，希望能創造愉快的學習環境給學生，避免填鴨式教育；但虎媽的管教方式則是以家長為考慮中心，他們罔顧學生的興趣、適合自己的學習方式，隨處只是以功利的想法去教育學生，希望直接將知識灌輸給學生，大學生盡快地學習更多的知識，但這種教育方式無疑是剝削了學生的自主權，亦與香港的教育主張相違背。
香港是一個充滿競爭的社會，為了獲得更多資源，需要裝備自己提高競爭力。
虎媽的管治模式讓孩子及早適應社會，用最短嘅時間掌握知識及技能。]]> 2018-10-03 08:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288489373 Ng Tsz Yan, Cheng Sau Ching, Chong Lok Yan, Tang Sheung Ying, Ho Ka Lok https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288490178 Rich parents can support their children to exchange and study abroad, even self financed degree. For secondary students, they would have more opportunities to join extra-curricular activities and assess to other learning resources.

We agree the statement but not the approach itself. Tiger parents stressed their children in order to have negative impact. However, Hong Kong is a stressful society and full of competitions thus they need to enhance their competitiveness]]> 2018-10-03 08:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288490178 CHENG Sau Ching, Ng Tsz Yan, Chong Lok Yan, Tang Sheung Ying, Ho Ka Lok, Wong Kuong Io https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288492978 Rich parents can support their children to exchange and study abroad, these learning experience can boarden their horizon in different aspects. Secondly, rich family and their children obtain more social capital, which reduces a lot of barrier of the studying of children.

'tiger mum’ parenting would not be significantly more prefered in Hong Kong than other places, given that especially for secondary students. As learning pace in Hong Kong is already fast, which is stressful to most of Hong Kong students. If ‘tiger mum’ gives too much extra burden towards their children, it is really easy to make their children suffer from depression, which creates adverse and inreversable effects. ]]> 2018-10-03 08:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288492978 1155064534 Li Kwun Yin https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288496565 家長所主導的教育會造成更大的教育不平等。於學生而言，家長其實一種教育資源，當中包括了家長所掌握的資訊或能投放於子女教育的金錢等。較有能力及教育程度較高的家長不但有意識幫助子女學習，相對上同時也較有能力；想反，一些能力有限的家長，或許連幫助子女的意識也沒有，自然會令當中學生的學習差異增大。

2. 從表面上而言，虎媽模式合適香港考試主導及精英主義的教育模式，能有效的操練或訓練子學獲取好的成績。但事實上，這樣的教育不但限制了學童的發展自由，更可能為他們帶來巨大的壓力。]]> 2018-10-03 08:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/qef20160047/war7dvt9tyty/wish/288496565
