showing respect to parents is one of the chinese traditional moral values.as most of the students today are “the only child” in their family, they often regard themselves as the“centre”of the family, without caring much about their parents. our school started a programme when the new year came.it is “respecting parents programme”. ten“do's”have been worked out for the students to follow clearly and easily, including:

“remember your parents' birthdays and express your best wishes to them; say”hello“to your parents when you see them returning home; and tell your parents where you go when you leave home.” the programme has been successful, and has won praises from parents and other sides of the society. people say this is what we should have done earlier!
