The nation already has its soccer moms, hockey moms. But a new brand of pushy parent is suddenly the talk of Middle America: the no-nonsense "Tiger Mother."
Amy Chua, a daughter of Chinese immigrants, coined the phrase in a newspaper article outlining her extraordinarily robust attempts to raise high-achieving kids. Within hours, she had become a media sensation.
Her new book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother shot to number six in the Amazon sales charts. Her article headlined "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior" is the week’s most read article in The Wall Street Journal. It has generated a quarter of a million "likes" and six thousand reader comments, most of them hostile. Her wide publicity in other media has sparked a furious debate over the rights and wrongs of Western parenting.
Chua’s book outlines the hard-line philosophy towards child rearing. It lists "watching TV playing computer games, playing any instrument other than the piano or violin, and "getting any grade less than an A," among the many things children should never be allowed to get away with. If they failed to complete 90 minutes of music practice each night, Chua would set fire to their teddy bears and threaten to donate their dolls houses to a charity store.
In a society which has slipped consistently down the world rankings for academic achievement in recent decades, and as parenting standards have become ever more permissive, Chua’s book
has struck a raw nerve
, setting parents pondering how to discipline a child.
Some call her a borderline child abuser; others say that her "tough love" approach gets results and should be widely copied. Plenty of others say that it advances a dangerous stereotype when America is increasingly suspicious about the rise of China.
Invited onto NBC’s Today program this week, she said that her methods worked: Both girls are "straight A students." In a small concession, she has allowed them to learn tennis.
High suicide rates among Indian and Chinese immigrant children have been blamed on pressure to succeed, and there has been discontent about "Tiger Parenting" from within the Chinese community.
"My first reaction was, ’Is this a joke?’ I kept waiting for the punch line," Frances Kai-Hwa Wang, 44, said. "Her methods are so crude. The humiliations and the shaming. The kids will hear that voice in their heads for the rest of their lives."
It can be concluded from this passage that people are generally________the Tiger Mother.

第六段能准确地反映人们的不同态度。有人说“虎妈”的方式“近似虐待儿童”,有的认为这种方式值得效仿,还有很多人担心这是个负面形象。可谓是众说纷纭。
