from The Context · host NewsChina
In a recent TV series, the two mothers even seem paranoid sometimes, while the two fathers seem normal. This is because they are less involved in their children’s education. There is an ancient Chinese saying that goes, “it’s a father’s fault if he just feeds but does not teach his children.” So this raises the question: did fathers in ancient China take part in their children’s education?
