孩子表現(xiàn)不好，父母應承擔責任并受懲罰嗎?

　　Should Parants Accept Responsibility and Also Be Punished if Their Children Behave Badly?

　　In fact, parents play a very important role in the growing of children. However, we can＇t think that parents should accept responsibility and be punished if their children behave badly. Or else, it would be unfair to some parents；we should consider the question objectively.

　　Some parents teach their children very carefully, telling them what to do, how to do, what is wrong, and what is right. They try their best to guide their childrn, offering advice to children for their study and life. With the instruction of parents, some children behave very well. However, there are still children who behave badly. Under this circumstance, we shouldn＇t criticize parents if their children behave badly.

　　Certainly there are other kinds of parents, who are busy doing their own business day and night, ignoring the education of children. Though they offer best life to their children, they neglect to teach their children how to think properly. In this situation, parents should be punished if their children behave badly.

　　In a word, we should consider different situations and make objective decisions, for many factors might result in bad behaviour of children. Perhaps parents are one of the factors. Besides the above situations, there are others. Those parents who are behaving bodly may result that their children behave badly. This kind of parents should be punished.

　　Therefore, irresponsible parents should be punished. We should give an overall consideration to this issue.

　　孩子表現(xiàn)不好，父母應承擔責任并受懲罰嗎?

　　事實上，父母在孩子成長的過程中扮演著非常重要的角色。不過，如果孩子們表現(xiàn)不好，我們不能認為父母應承擔責任或接受懲罰。否則對一些父母是不公平的。我們應客觀地考慮問題。

　　一些父母非常慎重地教育自己的子女。告訴他們做什么，怎樣做，什么是錯誤，什么是正確。他們努力地引導孩子的行為，并且提供學習與生活的忠告。由于有父母的指引，一些孩子表現(xiàn)良好。然而，還有表現(xiàn)不好的，在這種情況下，我們不應批評父母。

　　當然，有些父母日夜忙著做自己的事，不關心子女的教育問題。雖然他們給子女提供最優(yōu)裕的生活條件，他們忽略了應教給孩子們如何思考。在這種情況下，如果孩子表現(xiàn)不好，父母應受到懲罰。

　　總而言之，我們應該區(qū)別對待不同的情況，因為導致孩子們表現(xiàn)不好的因素很多。也許父母就是其中之一。除上述情況外，還有其他情況。那些表現(xiàn)不好的父母極有可能影響到自己孩子的行為。這樣的父母應受懲罰。

　　因此，那些不負責的父母應該受到懲罰。
