An Asian parent may not emulate the early childhood teacher's practice of praising her son for his accomplishments because: A. Praising the child might bring him bad-luck B. The parent believes that absence of criticism is itself an appropriate form of praise C. The child does not wish to be singled out D. No one has explained to her the positive benefits of this mainstream teaching strategy ........... I choose A............ Could someone Please Check This Answer
You may be right, although I'd lean toward D.
However, I vigorously object to using the term "Asian" in this question. Asia is a vast continent made up of over 50 nations and many more cultures.
Consider these Asian countries: Israel, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Russia, India, Nepal, Japan, China, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., etc.
Thanks
You're welcome.
The use of _______ characterizes the teacher'a method of initiating and directing children's verbal responses in a format that can confuse children from non-mainstream cultures.
To check whether A is the correct answer, we can evaluate the statement and reasoning provided.
Answer A suggests that an Asian parent may not emulate the early childhood teacher's practice of praising her son for his accomplishments because praising the child might bring him bad luck.
This response is based on a cultural superstition or belief that praising a child can bring negative consequences. However, it's important to note that beliefs and practices vary among individuals, families, and cultures, so it is not a definitive reason for an Asian parent's behavior.
To determine if A is correct, it would be helpful to consider the other answer options and evaluate them as well.
