Tiger Mother Amy Chua: 虎妈蔡美儿

在出版的自传回忆录《虎妈战歌》Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother 中，耶鲁法学院教授蔡美儿介绍了她如何以中国式教育方法管教两个女儿（a memoir of how the Yale law professor raised her two daughters in the strict Chinese way），该书在美国出版后引发全民关于中美教育方法大讨论。

虎妈是这样教育孩子的：

informing her daughter that she's "garbage"

rejecting ill-done Mother’s Day cards or careless essays

requiring girls to practice the piano and violin for hours at a time

hauling her then-7-year-old daughter's dollhouse out to the car and telling the kid that the dollhouse is going to be donated piece by piece if the daughter doesn't master a difficult piano composition
