雖然傳統價值是小孩應該要孝順父母,竭盡所能的滿足父母的需要,我還是覺得學校宵夜街的那些店家不應該把自己的小孩叫來幫忙,當工讀生用。
我不覺得多請一個工讀生就會讓餐廳的生意倒閉。
我覺得小孩子應該要把自己的時間拿來探索自己的無限可能。如果是小學生,她/他應該和朋友出去玩,或許以後會是個外交官;如果是國中生,她/他應該去公共圖書館翻翻書,或許以後會是個文學家或是學者。
這樣的機會不應該被剝奪,無論父母的職業為何。
只是,也有可能是我的世界太完美了。
Although it’s the Chinese tradition that require children to fulfill their families’ need, to piety their parents, I don’t think restaurant owners should make their children working without pay.
I don’t believe one more paycheck (to one more part-time worker) will bring down the business.
I think children should make use of their own time to explore their endless possibilities. He/she could be a diplomat some day, if he/she hang out with his friends more; He/she could be a excellent scholar, if he/she spend more time in the public library.
Chances like this should not be taken no matter what parents do for living.
Or you may say as someone would: Hey Tim, your world is too perfect.
