It is okay for a boy to choose to be a preschool teacher as long as he takes responsibility for his choice.
When Mr. Bang returned home from construction, he heard Bac sobbing and screaming at his mother:
- I'm not crazy. Don't say that!
His wife, Ms. Mua's voice also rose:
- You're crazy, understand? I'm so disappointed...
Seeing Mr. Bang come back, Mrs. Mua angrily shouted at her husband:
- Here it is, go home and see your son. How could he be so crazy?
Mr. Bang calmly:
- What's the matter that you two are making so much noise about? Aren't you ashamed of the neighbors? Tell me what's going on.
- Bac is out of his mind, brother. He's crazy - she sobbed.
Bac's face also turned red:
- Dad, is it okay for mom to say that to me? If my friends hear that, I'll just die.
- So what, tell me - Mr. Bang gently told his son.
- I told you I was going to enroll in a preschool teacher training college. I wanted to be a preschool teacher. So you said I was crazy.
- You see. Only a crazy man would let his son become a kindergarten teacher.
- How would you know everything at home? There are many male preschool teachers. I like children and I think that job is suitable for me. So you say this and that. You are insulting me.
- What girl would dare marry you with that job?
- You are healthy, normal, and do the job you love, so why doesn't anyone want you?
- Normally, we have to work like men. Who would go around wiping kids' butts and sniffing their noses?
- That's just a small thing in daily life, but now with the new curriculum, kindergartens also have their own programs, requiring pedagogical ability and love for the job to be able to teach. Mom, don't look down on me like that!
Mr. Bang nodded when he heard his son say:
- Your child is right. Just let him choose a career that suits his health, academic ability and interests. Only then will he love and stick with the career. Dad supports your decision. Just do well what you like.
Bac happily walked in. Turning to his wife, Mr. Bang gently scolded:
- Nowadays, parents don't choose careers for their children. What you said is really insulting to your child. Look at Ms. Ha's family. They always say that their child is bad at studying and can't pass exams, so recently she dropped out of high school.
Ms. Mua sadly said:
- But I just feel like it's strange...
- What are you talking about? Let him choose a school that he likes, especially if it's a good career. He will be responsible for his own choice. If you advise him, do it gently...
