美国父母与中国父母的育子观迥然而异。美国父母不一定要供他们的儿女上大学。如果他们供得起,那当然好,他们可以把儿女送到最好的大学里去;但如果供不起,也无须感到内疚。倘若儿女真想读书,他们自己会有办法的。儿女结婚后,做父母的没有给儿女照看孩子的义务。 The concept of parental education between American parents and Chinese parents varies widely. American parents do not necessarily want to have their children go to college. If they can afford it, of course it is good that they can send their children to the best universities, but if they can not, they will not feel guilty. If children really want to study, they have their own way. After the children are married, the parents do not give their children the obligation to take care of the children.
