【FULL】I Can I BB S7 EP01 Part 2 | 奇葩说7 | iQIYI
Right. [English subtitles are available] Welcome to I CAN I BB Season 7. Now is the one-on-one battle. Well, our next topic is [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him?] “A boy wants to wear a skirt to a kindergarten.” “Should his parents stop him?” [Very excited.]
Our debaters are [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? TK vs. QIQIYUAN] the Affirmative TK and the Negative QIQIYUAN. Let’s welcome them. They make such a couple. It looks like they dress for fashion weeks. Their blazers are just too flowery. They’re made for this topic.
Yeah, very trendy. Ok, now, introduce yourselves. Hello, everyone. I’m QIQIYUAN who has always wanted to wear a dress since kindergarten. I’m a fashion designer, thank you. I’m TK who has always hoped to stop QIQIYUAN wearing a dress since kindergarten but hasn’t managed to do so so that he should wear it here
On this show. I’m the youngest weirdo here. I’m 18. Thank you for your support. Thank you. You are both 18, 19 years old? Yeah. My name is Terry King. You can call me TK. I’m 18. [I am a…] I’m [Student, radio anchor, beauty blogger, English tutor, debate coach, etc.] a student,
A radio host, a beauty blogger, a part-time English tutor, a training lecturer. And I’m also a debate coach at an international high school. I have quite a lot of identities. I don’t see anyone that is better than me. Maybe I’ll leave that remark
For the time I become the BB King of Season 7. All right? [Very confident.] The frequency I debated in the past few months [On the day when they chose the topics.] was one debate every other day. I always consider myself to be Huang Zhizhong with eyeliners. He must be mad.
I’ll make a quick decision. “A boy wants to go to kindergarten in a skirt.” “Should his parents stop him?” Which side you want to take? I’ll take the Negative. The Negative? Come on. You want to take the Negative? I am the boy who my parents failed to stop wearing a dress.
So I reckon this is definitely the perfect topic for me. Hello, everyone. I’m QIQIYUAN. I’m a fashion designer born after 2000. [During the audition.] I am just like this. I refuse to be ordinary. You can say that I’m good or bad. You can say I’m weird. But you can’t say I’m ordinary.
I think you could probably give this style a go next time, Professor Liu. Yeah. I think that’ll suit you. I think this is the terrorism of aesthetics. You know, QIQIYUAN, if you can make it to the next round, you’ll be styling Professor Liu. That’s absolutely fine. My thought is
I’ll never let you pass. Then I won’t waste your time. [On the day when they chose the topics.] All right? I’ll choose TK. He is an interesting guy. But I don’t know why he must take things too hard and choose me. I choose this topic
To prove the legitimacy of me as a human being. I’ve got thousands of ideas in my mind the mument I saw that topic. How could I not choose it? Four coaches, what do you want to tell the debaters before the battle? Has QIQIYUAN prepared an outfit for Professor Liu?
I’ve presented them to Professor Liu. He tried them on. But he chose not to wear them. I’ve kept them. I might need to pose in the Forbidden City to properly wear those clothes. [Two hours before the one-on-one battle.] Hi, Professor Liu. I brought you some clothes that I think would really suit you.
Oh, do you? Wanna try them on? [Thank you but no.] Well… Yeah. I could wear them on other occasions. You can try them on right now, Professor Liu. Well, I’ll go for… This one? Great. This one looks like traditional royal Chinese style. With a bit sense of playfulness. It looks great on you.
It suits you so well. Am I right? I really think no one else could pull it off. Only Professor Liu can. We might need to film in the Forbidden City then. It actually looks really good. I don’t know why Professor Liu didn’t get the courage to wear it.
Yeah. It really suits Professor Liu. [Just got an idea.] Professor Liu, if you decide not to wear it, would you mind giving it to Professor Xue to let him try? I don’t mind. Well then. Are you sure? Yes. Can we do this, QIQIYUAN? Yeah. Absolutely no problem. I think four coaches
Can take turns to wear it. You wish. Come on. Paper, scissors, stone. Ok. Paper, scissors, stone. QIQIYUAN, please choose the order. Then I’ll be the first, ok? Alright. Who goes first challenges first. Three minutes for each of you to make your point. QIQIYUAN, you can start now.
I think all of you can see that [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? The negative.] I am the boy in this topic. You know how I got to pass last round? Yeah, with my dress. I wore a dress for the initial audition. [Just kidding.]
That’s why I am standing here today, safe and sound. What’s the fuss? Right. Back to my topic. The first point I want to make is it really isn’t strange for boys to wear dresses or skirts. I don’t if you guys still remember. I remember when I was a kid, in kindergarten,
Many boys would choose to run naked after they peed on their pants. Why it should be a big thing to wear a skirt in kindergarten? And have you found that why there would be a dress or skirt in your home appearing out of nowhere? When I found about this, I asked
Most of the families I know which have sons. I found that they would dress their boys as girls occasionally and post their photos on social media. It’s hilarious, isn’t it? But now you try to stop the kid to wear a skirt when he wants to. Isn’t that a bit contradictory?
Wouldn’t the kid thought ‘What’s wrong, mum?’ ‘Do you have a personality disorder, mum?’ Ok. Let’s now do some proper reasoning. To me, what this topic really wants to explore is what kind of roles parents should play in their children’s world. I think we need to tell our children
To see both the positive and negative side of things. And we need to give them the right to choose for themselves. This is what education is for. This is also our respect for our children. Sometimes, the word “stop” may sound very serious to a child.
If he is made to feel that you’re stopping him, [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? The negative.] he would think ‘mum is stopping me.’ ‘Then this must be the wrong thing to do.’ Next time when he saw other girls playing with dolls,
He would think ‘oh, that’s not for me’. When he saw other girls dancing ballet, he would believe ‘oh that isn’t for me either’. When he saw his mum doing housework, would he believe that women should be the ones to do it. A stereotype about gender is developed at this age this way.
[The affirmative, TK: 4; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 25.] This is a good point. I believe all parents want to take all the efforts to protect their children. However, when protection turns into coercion, or forbidding, which results in countless compromises of the kid. Then home is no longer a haven for the kid.
Let’s return the choices to our kids. He merely wishes to wear a beautiful dress. I want to end my speech by quoting from Feng Jicai. The wind can whip up a piece of paper, but it cannot make a butterfly move. The power of life is never giving its way in.” Thank you.
[The affirmative, TK: 4; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 38.] Ok, thank you QIQIYUAN. Ok, TK, you have three minutes to make your point. You can start. Sometimes, we stopped our children [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? The affirmative.] not because they’ve done something wrong.
It’s because maybe we think the world isn’t good enough. I don’t want my children to suffer at such an early age. Take a look at this topic. It says kindergarten, guys. Kids in kindergarten. What’s their most prominent feature? Very active, yeah. If you didn’t stop him wearing a skirt for now,
His capability to move around would be greatly affected. Who could he win over in clothes like this? Right? You say, well, then I don’t wear showy dresses like this, can I wear some elegant pieces? Sorry, others might step on your son’s dress. Kids might also
Pull his long hair if he grows his hair that way. That’s not elegant at all. So, I think it’s fine if my kid is not good-looking. But he must dress well. [I have to look pretty.] Besides, kids in kindergarten are not fully developed in their characters. That’s why parents need to
Guide and instruct them. Let me give you an example. My brother has just started to go to kindergarten two years ago. He basically does whatever he wants. He does whatever he likes. He came up with different things every day. He watched Sailor Moon one day and he wanted to dress like her.
He saw Superman the other day then wanted to wear his underpants outside. Later when he watched Crayon Shinchan, he didn’t even want to wear underpants anymore. Would you allow him? Is that still okay? What’s the use of you being her mother? I might as well just need a fashion designer. Right? So,
We don’t want to stop him from wearing a skirt. We just want him to wear it at the right time. This topic is all about the right time and place to do things. Say, you have the right to get tattoos. But when you’re underage, I wouldn’t you let you do this.
You have the right to wear jeans, but if the dress code of school is the school uniform, I would stop you from wearing jeans. But I would allow you to wear them on other occasions. [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? The affirmative.]
So, I would stop my kid wearing a skirt to kindergarten. But I could allow him to wear it when I took him to a fashion show at the Children’s Palace. Parents should satisfy children’s needs in a wise way. They should never please them blindly. This is the first thing.
[The affirmative, TK: 21; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 34.] I think if you aren’t able to protect your children, then please don’t show your support only in words. Let me share a story with you. Last year when I was a senior three student, I once wore a dress to play Marilyn Monroe
On a Halloween Party. Naturally, I received a lot of discrimination the next day. A black English teacher at my school came to me and asked me seriously “are you a boy or a girl? Why do you wear such strange clothes?” Then he made a ten-minute long speech
To criticize and mock the way I dressed. Can you imagine that? What it would be like if I go to school every day in that dress? What if I were not fifteen but only five back then? But the problem is my mum always wanted to do something about it.
She certainly could have accused my schoolmates and English teacher of not respecting me. But how could she did the same to a bunch of three or four years old? So, what is explored [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? The affirmative.] in this topic
Is very simple. We hope that our parents can evaluate potential risks for us and get our back when they can’t protect us. I don’t think those parents who blindly support us wearing dresses in a school do love us. On the contrary, I think those who put limits on us
In order to protect us are the parents who really love us. When parents protect their children from harm, their children will love this world more. Thank you. [The affirmative, TK: 57; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 14.] Both of you now have one minute to challenge the other. You are the first, QIQIYUAN.
Just now you said parents can evaluate risks for us and get our back. But wearing a dress is a process. Shouldn’t children be enjoying this process? This process can also make children get hurt. Why don’t you prevent them from getting harmed so that they can enjoy this process later?
What if the dress were not the reason for the kid being discriminated against? What if the kid got hurt because his look and voice were not manly? Should we take this kid to do plastic surgeries and do operations on his vocal cords? We don’t need to cater to
What others make of and think of us. But I can try my best protecting him from getting harmed by controlling his behaviors. What’s wrong with that? Since we’re telling the kid he doesn’t have to cater to others’ views, why don’t you let him wear the skirt as he likes to?
Kids are not that evil as you might think. He doesn’t even know whether he is allowed to wear a skirt. How would he sense discrimination and despise? These are all big words. Answer me this, what’d you do if your kid were teased because he wore a skirt?
Pray to keep him out of harm’s way? No. If someone teased him, I would teach that person to behave appropriately in front of my kid, making myself a hero to my kid. This is my parenting principle. So, if we fail to be a hero like QIQIYUAN, then we’re not good parents. Not true.
If we can’t change the world, why not roll with it? It’s only logical. [The affirmative, TK: 63; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 14.] If a parent can’t bear to see their kid get hurt not even a little bit, maybe parenthood isn’t for you. I suggest homeschooling for your kid
So that they will never get hurt. It’s easy said than done. We all know that we’ve been through a lot to be able to stand here. And we chose to go through these obstacles to stand here. Some people can’t even express themselves freely. how could they ask for more?
I think if a boy can ask for a skirt, he most certainly lives a happy life. If he got teased every day because of his outfit, he wouldn’t even ask. QIQIYUAN time up. He asks, because he wants to. We shouldn’t indulge them. He may want to do these things
Just because he thinks it’s fun. It’s not necessarily linked with gender identity. Even if you want to change the world, I don’t think it’s fair to use kids as a campaign for us to fight against the world. They deserve a better life of their own. Thank you.
[The affirmative, TK: 70; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 15.] You all have 30 seconds to conclude. Who opens first concludes last. You first, TK. You have 30 seconds. Freedom was once invaluable. [A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? The affirmative.] But with everyone calling for it,
It’s losing its value. I hope that by saying ‘no’ to the kid, he can be accepted by society, and able to get more freedom. He can stand on any stage he likes, and go wherever he wants to. He can have all these if we estimate the hurdles for him.
If you want to change the world like QIQIYUAN, you need to understand that you can earn the right to be hated only if you’re capable to be loved. Thank you all. Okay. QIQIYUAN, 30 seconds. I called my mom as soon as I got the topic.
[A boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten. Should his parents stop him? The negative.] I told her that I wanted to wear a skirt on the show, and I wasn’t afraid of being teased or mocked, but the possibility that your friends, people around you may give you a hard time.
Her response was firm. She simply said that as long as it makes me happy, as long as I’m happy, then she’s not afraid of anything. That’s when I realized that I’m able to stand here, not because I was nurtured in the greenhouse but because I thrive like a butterfly who battles the storm.
Thank you. [The affirmative, TK: 66; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 28.] So touching. He can turn this thing around. I liked a lot some of QIQIYUAN’s words, because they felt sincere. He’s probably the one who connects with the topic the most. He’s the epitome of this topic. Really? You’re great. Amazing. Let’s start voting. Five
Look away. Seriously. Four Three Two One. Voting done. [The affirmative, TK: 59; The negative, QIQIYUAN: 41.] 59 vs.41, the winner is TK. Thank you, coaches. Thanks. Thank you all. Let’s hug it out. Give me a hug. You were amazing. An 18-year-old and a 19-year-old talking about if the parents should stop a boy
Who asks to wear a skirt. Why did you choose the topic TK? Because I think my mom didn’t stop me from doing a lot of things. But to me, I don’t think I’m living life as I expected. So stopping me from doing something could actually be interesting.
That’s why I chose the proposition side. What about QIQI? Were you chosen, or did you choose this one? I chose this one. This is the topic that I like. Because the boy in this topic is me. I even, when I was drafting, I couldn’t think of
Any idea that the proposition side would come up with. Because I feel that there is no reason to stop this. I grew up like this. Also, yes, I feel that I’m the only one who has little to do with talking. I feel fortunate that I’ve made it this far. I believe that fortune
Is the freedom that my parents give me. Thank you. I think he will be on the waiting list. Bravo. Mimi, if it were you, which side would you pick? I’m with the proposition side. Personally, I think it’s easier for an adult male to wear a skirt. For a kindergarten boy
To wear a skirt. He may be in danger that he doesn’t realise. As a parent, I can’t bear it if my child suffers at kindergarten. For adults, we may be able to come up with a way of communication, but for kids, they may face even graver risks.
Professor Liu, I see that you voted for QIQI. Right, first of all, I agree with QIQI on this one. There is this one basic principle, the biggest motivation for a kid to do something is your forbidding. So, if you try to forbid him from doing something without a proper reason,
It is more likely for him to try that at a more dangerous time. That’s how I see this. I want to ask QIQI, when you wore a skirt to kindergarten, while the other boys were wearing shorts, what was their attitude about you, do you remember? I remember the first time
When I wore something that resembles a skirt. It was the curtain that my family used to cover the TV. I wrapped that curtain around me and went for a walk. At that time, everybody saw me thought I was funny. It was not that serious. Because I used to be bigger in size,
I think they didn’t dare to discriminate me, right. Didn’t dare to discriminate against you. This is just right on spot. Exactly. We must fight back against discrimination. We can’t compromise. This is very important. It requires our combined efforts to change this environment. It is safe to say that I am an idealist.
But I believe, in order to change society, we need to fight against all kinds of discriminations, sexism, or whatever, it doesn’t;t matter what kind, just fight back. For all children or adults, just fight back. Yeah, these are probably some last words I say on this stage, thank you. I think these two
Probably have the opportunity to think about this in private. So, for me, a boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten, the first to pay attention to is his choice of skirts. You can’t go to kindergarten looking messy. What Kevin is trying to say is that the topic should be
If a boy wants to wear a skirt to kindergarten, but the skirt is poorly made, should his parents stop him. That’s what you are trying to say. Exactly. You just heard about QIQI’s story, wearing a curtain that is used to cover the TV and went for a walk. You can’t let the child
Be messy when it comes to aesthetics. So, I’ve been thinking, could the director first bring the clothes that QIQI designed and let me try them on first. Don’t let me wear that for the entire night next time. I will just wear it later today for a while.
That’s what you have been thinking about？ Yes. I will make that happen for you. You’re upset because only Professor Liu got one of those and you didn’t. Here it is. It actually looks nice. Please stand at the center of the stage. [It’s mine.] Seriously, I have no regrets now. Regretful now, huh?
[How old are you?] You look handsome in that. Now he is a professor from Hogwarts. Handsome! You look good! You look good! I’m so touched. Thank you. It goes well with your tie and everything, right？ Exactly. Exactly. Turn around so that they can see you.
Should I wear it for the rest of the night? You can. You can have it for two months. [Getting anxious.] Its, I have its ownership. After you put it on, I now believe that Avanti really exists. Okay, thank you, Professor Xue. Here, take a seat. Professor Xue, you can just fly back
Riding your broom. TK, congratulations on entering the next round. Thank you. QIQI, now let’s see if there are coaches who want you to stay. Three. [Getting one vote.] Two. One. [Getting two votes.] Mountains and rivers [Getting wait-listed.] LY.com is there with you. Thank you, coaches. Thank you. Seriously, this to-be-determined area is
Full of debaters. It’s in fact full. No more space. Crowded. [The affirmative, TK; The negative, QIQIYUAN.] [The negative, QIQIYUAN: wait-listed.] Let’s thank the one who knows what you want for New Year, and makes you happy every day. Thank JD.com for exclusively sponsor season seven of I Can I BB. Okay, now,
Let us see our next topic. [My kid’s got so much homework that he stays up late. Should I argue with his teacher?] My kid always has a lot of homework that he stays up late. Should I argue with his teachers? [Very excited.] Our two contestants are
[My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? Calvin vs. Yee Chin.] Calvin, Calvin and GAN YEE CHIN. This should be good. Why? They picked this one themselves. Both of them are captains and now they are against each other. [Why?] Let’s go. [Captain Gourmet vs. Captain Cupid.]
When YEE CHIN challenged Calvin, we all felt relieved. Two captains fighting against each other. If we meet any one of them, we will be screwed. Two fierce competitors are now against each other. It at least saves two other debaters. This is the match I’m looking forward to. Bring it on.
[Heading straight to the wait-listed section.] She is already seated. She already found a spot there. What are you two up to? What? [Before the show.] I’m so nervous. I’m so nervous. Are we about to start? Please don’t. Please wait a little longer. Ready? Calvin, test your microphone. Hello, hello everyone.
I’m Calvin. It’s been a while. Oh my god. There are so many of his fans here. It’s been hard. I’m highly anxious, and also, nervous. It was about to be her turn and she was still editing her drafts. She now has six versions. But, none of them is perfect.
YEE CHIN, reflect on yourself. Just reflect on yourself. Why? She is already sitting there. She already found a spot. Let’s go, YEE CHIN! It’s like the final of season five all over again. [I Can I BB, season five.] [The competition for the BB King.]
[The affirmative, Calvin: 51; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 49.] [Gan Yee Chin lost because of one vote.] I think, you’ve brought the final here again. Why? Why? Why is that, YEE CHIN. Why? I picked him. Why did you pick him? I just did. I just wanted to try. I think,
I can’t challenge a new debater every time. I should take a known debater. After all, I have been on this show for several seasons and I haven’t accomplished anything. Right. So I figured that I need a good ending. You want an ending today？ I suppose, yes. I wanted to challenge Calvin. Let’s go!
Let’s go! GAN YEE CHIN, if this really is your ending, I wish you good luck. Good luck. Back then, you picked Calvin. Back then, you picked Calvin. But Calvin seemed like he wanted to avoid it, He has been trying to avoid this matchup. Yes, I was quite firm with this.
I said I won’t accept. I won’t accept, I think it’s just cruel. Calvin, do you think it’s cruel to her, or do you think it’s cruel to you？ It will be cruel to both of us. I can sense that. Okay. The topic is my kid always has a lot of homework
[My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? Calvin vs. Yee Chin] that he stays up late. Should I argue with his teachers? Calvin stands for “should argue with teachers”. YEE CHIN, since you don’t have a child, you stand for “shouldn’t argue with teachers”, right?
You can’t say one of my arguments! [Just kidding.] Right! Just forget that I said it. Okay, here we go. Rock, paper, scissors. Okay, Calvin won, so you choose You pick. I pick? You pick first. Then I’ll go first. Oaky, it’s fine. Okay, you have three minutes. YEE CHIN, begin.
There’s too much homework and the kid always stays up late. [My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The negative.] Actually, this is a complicated one. There are many reasons for this. Why does he stay up late? Why does he have so much homework?
Is it because he is too slow? Is it because he starts doing them late at night? Did you sign him up for too many extra classes? Is it because he has too much homework, he is too busy, or, is it because he is dating in secret? [We don’t encourage puppy love.]
But this topic tells us nothing. As a debater, I believe in one basic principle. That is, don’t try to make a point without an argument, right? Things could easily go wrong. That’s my first point. Now, here comes my second argument. The parent may say that he is concerned about his kid.
[My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The negative.] Concerned about his kid. You are concerned about your kid, but why do all classmates have to cooperate with you? If, because your child does the homework slowly that the whole class needs to make an adjustment on homework,
Then who should be the one to decide the education plan? Should it be someone persuasive? In that case, Calvin must have some edges, you are the BB king, the rest of us may just be BBing, right? So, we say this is unfair to other kids. That’s my second point. The third point,
[My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The negative.] this topic, although short, contains a keyword. The kid stays up late to do homework. He must be an A student, right? An A student! Kids have all kinds of choices, he can choose not to do the homework.
But he decides to stay up late to finish them. To you, it may be a problem. But to him, it’s his solution. He is already trying to solve the problem. [He’s already solving problems.] [The affirmative, Calvin: 0; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 27.] Bravo!
He is telling you that he can do it on his own, he is just a little bit slow. Is it homework that kids hate? No. Kids don’t hate homework. Kids hate it when parents try to talk to teachers, and when teachers try to talk to parents.
When we were kids, our parents would say [My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The negative.] please switch places for my kid, his deskmate is annoying. Our parents would also say stuff like don’t let our kid run for any position, it’s bad for his study;
Don’t let him eat snacks, it’s bad for his health. These are what we hated, and we haven’t changed. If your parents go to your superiors and say don’t let my kid work late, fewer PowerPoint slides. That feeling, even embarrassing just thinking about it. That’s why we say
When kids are trying to solve the problems on their own, we should just let them. If the topic is the child has too much homework that he cries, then it’s more reasonable to argue about it. If the kid is complaining that there is too much homework, I also think it’s reasonable to argue.
But for today’s topic, the kid is already trying to solve the problem, it’s just you don’t agree with him. This argument is touching. Studying is a challenge. Everyone has their own way [The affirmative, Calvin: 4; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 42.] of facing and accepting challenges. The kid is just using his methods.
What parents should do is care more about him rather than intervene. I know that every parent loves his/her child. I haven’t said my best sentence, let’s save it. She dares to save it, amazing. Bravo! Time is up. GAN YEE CHIN, your best sentence of the season is
I haven’t said my best sentence, let’s save it. Okay. The proposition side, Calvin, you have three minutes, go. YEE CHIN sure is confused. [My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The affirmative.] She mentioned why kids stay up late because of the homework. Exactly.
Kids stay up late because of the homework is the result. I argue with teachers to try to figure out the reason. There are two possibilities. Too much homework, low efficiency. If there is too much homework, then staying up late is not just my child’s problem. It is likely that many children
Are facing it. What is the purpose of my arguing with teachers? Hoping to make some adjustments. Maybe it’s too much. Teachers need to know about this. If it’s because of low efficiency, then I need to ask what about the knowledge taught recently? Why doe my kid confused about it?
I need to figure that out. In the end, arguing with teachers is building a bridge. You need to figure out the real reasons behind your concerns. What I just said is my opinion about this topic. But, when I ask my wife about this, I was harshly blamed. How moms see this
Is totally different from dads. She said, argue with teachers, no questions asked. It’s because of growth. The peak of kids’ growth hormones is 10 pm to 1 am. However, listen to this, he has to be in deep sleep to secrete that hormone. He’s so bad. That’s why kids
Normally go to bed around nine or ten, so that they can be in deep sleep after ten, and grow. My wife was like, forget about the scores, [The affirmative, Calvin: 26; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 37.] all things like this come next. Kids can catch up with others on study, but development
Comes once in a lifetime. Guys, staying up late to do homework, do you care about your kid’s height or development? After hearing my wife’s words, I suddenly understood. But, moms and dads can still be subjective and shallow about this. So, for this topic,
[My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The affirmative.] the source of my inspiration is my daughter. My daughter was born at the time of season 1. Now it’s season 7 and she is in primary school, the first grade. I asked her, when you
Stay up late to do your homework, will it help if mom and dad go talk to your teachers? She said there was a time when she actually did stay up late. She told me that she prefers us talking top teachers because if she stays up late the night before,
She will be sleepy the next day. You think this is shallow, wrong. Here comes the important part, Behaviouristic psychology tells us that one person, if he always studies when feeling sleepy, in the future, whenever he studies, he feels sleepy. [The affirmative, Calvin: 45; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 22.] Think about it.
He is so awesome, look at him. Shocked. I was shocked, guys. Do you remember Pavlov’s dog? Ring the bell, signal to eat, drools; ring the bel, signal to eat, drools, ring the bell, nothing to eat, also drools. Kids are just like this. Study, stay up late, feel sleepy;
Study, stay up late, feel sleepy, study, even not at night, also sleepy. That’s what we call conditioned reflex. YEE CHIN, you said that this is the kid’s own solution. I have to help him adjust this solution. It’s just terrifying. In your life, in countless moments when you felt sleepy just holding a book,
All those afternoons, mornings, or sunsets, it’s not your fault. It’s those late nights throughout your childhood [The affirmative, Calvin: 49; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 19.] that should be blamed. I was deeply touched after hearing my daughter’s speech. Kids really are persuasive. That’s why I will argue with teachers, thank you. Exactly. Amazing.
My god, he’s amazing. After hearing what Calvin said, I wish he was my dad, seriously. Now I know why I feel sleepy when doing this. Conditioned reflex. You stayed up late to do this as a child? GAN YEE CHIN, Calvin just presented his arguments, what’s that look, what’s wrong?
No, I just didn’t expect he would come up with those. I spent some long nights for my arguments, I figured that he would talk about love. Who knew he would talk about feeling sleepy. Now I have a mental breakdown. Because feeling sleepy crushes your love for study. Stop it,
You can’t present your argument now, you just can’t. Now it’s 64 VS 17, the proposition side is in the lead. YEE CHIN challenges first. One minute for each of them, YEE CHIN, you start. Excellent points from Calvin. But based on what you said, can theory solves the problem of feeling sleepy or development?
Of course, growth hormones are secreted at night, Of course, growth hormones are secreted at night, better in deep sleep at ten, can’t stay up late to do homework. Okay, come on, none of us go to bed at ten, and we all seem to be fine. That is the problem.
We forget why do we always feel sleepy when holding a book. The origin of that can be traced back to our childhood. Back then, we planted, according to Kevin, that small seed. Wrong. Even if you argue with teachers, [The affirmative, Calvin: 63; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 21.]
They still have to assign homework whether the kids feel sleepy or not. How do you solve that? Well, I’m a teacher myself. If parents talk to me about this, a real responsible teacher have to ask himself, do I assign too much homework? If any of my students stay up tp eleven-thirty each day,
As a teacher, I have to make adjustments. Tell you what, arguing with a teacher is also a great opportunity to see if he is responsible. Well, I’m a student. I know I feel sleepy because the teacher is boring. It has nothing to do with whether I go to bed early. Exactly! Bravo!
You don’t feel sleepy because your teachers are boring. That’s feeling sleepy in class. Felling sleepy late at night is just nature’s law. So, you see, your body needs development. homework needs to be adjusted, your efficiency needs to be higher. All this starts with your arguing with teachers. We argue with teachers
To solve the problem with homework. But you didn’t answer my question. How should we make adjustments to homework? There are plenty of methods. Three approaches. No. 1, increase kids’ interest. Now, starting from primary school, there is more homework that can be done in the process of playing, they’re interesting.
No. 2, reduce the amount. No. 3, increase your kid’s efficiency. Teachers should also make their classes more efficient. If you want to know more about this, Time is up for Calvin, open Zuoyebang, thank you. YEE CHIN, you have thirty seconds. He is broadcasting commercials here. He really did a fantastic job.
I was so panicked, I couldn’t feel my legs, you know? All arguments Calvin just presented are ideal. But in reality, we all know, why do kids have this much homework? Because they will eventually face the college entrance examination. We can have fun now, our bodies can grow, like, really tall,
But when we fail in that exam, we will still be sad. Having too much homework to do is a fact. Kids are already trying to solve this problem. You just see their development. Have you thought about their scores? [The affirmative, Calvin: 61; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 27.]
Do parents really don’t care about scores now？ I don’t believe that. Calvin will only say what he said on stage. But it doesn’t feel sincere to me. Me too! Bravo, nice. Okay, time is up for both of you. I think I didn’t hear Calvin’s best sentence. Care to say that again?
If you want to learn efficiently, open Zuoyebang APP. GAN YEE CHIN, is that the best sentence you didn’t say? If you want to grow better, go shopping on JD.com. Nice! She has more votes. [The affirmative, Calvin: 53; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 41.] Excellent! You each have thirty seconds for your conclusion.
Calvin, you go first. YEE CHIN said that I wouldn’t do as I said [My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The affirmative.] in real life. Actually, this is the seventh season, and I have been wondering recently, this season, is there something new I can bring to this show?
I came up with something. I’d like to do as I say. This season, tonight is the first episode, if there are more to come for me, whatever topic I choose, whichever side I am on, if it really happens in my life, I will do as I say.
My daughter is now in first grade. She has twelve more years at school. If she always stays up late to do homework, let me put it this way. All my daughter’s future teachers, I will argue with you on this. This is the sense of responsibility of a father. Time has changed,
Studying is now a life-long cause, being curious is the most important. Don’t kill it by feeling sleepy. Thank you. The love thing, here it comes again. [The affirmative, Calvin: 55; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 39.] Okay, YEE CHIN, thirty seconds. It is Calvin’s wife
[My kid’s got so much homework. Should I argue with his teacher? The negative.] who said staying up late would affect development. It is Calvin who said he would argue with teachers. About this whole thing, the kid is silent. What is the kid doing? Doing homework. You want your kid to grow taller,
But what she cares about are homework and grades. For this topic, I just want to put myself in the kid’s shoes. Let parents see that the kid is trying to solve the problem. What you should focus on is what your child likes. Some children like playing,
[The affirmative, Calvin: 51; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 45.] some like study. He stays up late to do homework because he loves to study. Respect your child. Bravo! This conclusion is great. This conclusion is excellent. Now let’s vote for them. The two sides. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Lock it.
[The affirmative, Calvin: 46; The negative, Gan Yee Chin: 53.] 53 VS 36. GAN YEE CHIN Excellent. Excellent. YEE CHIN’s conclusion moved me. Also, when facing such a strong rival, she made adjustments in time and responded in her own way. YEE CHIN’s conclusion made me cry. I can almost see that,
The child is doing homework while the parents are sleeping, and they see their child when going to the bathroom. The kid is still doing homework, that’s his way of fighting difficulties. This matchup to me is just so typical. it’s like, YEE CHIN is closer to life and warmer, while, Calvin is more rational
But still warm and interesting. That’s how their matchup is like. She’s worth it. Nice conclusion. Bravo! Great conclusion! Fantastic, my god! It feels like the final. Exactly. YEE CHIN, do you have anything to say? I’m happy. I don’t know what to say, my brain is empty now. But, I won, that feels great.
I really think you did a great job. YEE CHIN, I want to ask you this, the first rival you chose is Calvin, why? She just wanted to see this, it’s her revenge. Is that so? I just want to prove that I can win that one vote. Actually, I feel embarrassing losing to anyone
But Calvin. Everyone, do you have anything to say to Calvin and YEE CHIN? I just want to say, YEE CHIN did a great job. But you sure don’t seem like a parent. It was out of context, what you said. I think Calvin also made some great points. But they are more distant,
Compared to YEE CHIN’s. Since arguing with teachers works, why does the same thing keep repeating itself? Kids still stay up late to do homework. About this, there is one easier solution, it’s not arguing with teachers, because homework is just a trend. You should argue with your kid.
You should tell her not to be an A student. Not to work so hard. That is the easiest solution. This is the easiest kind of encouragement. Also, if other kids are not growing so well, then my kid’s growing well will be better. Right, it’s only a joke. But in fact, when
We face rules, we should make adjustments ourselves. We should help our kids see further. Life is like a marathon, his rank in class doesn’t matter. Professor Xue, in order to realise that, you need to cooperate with teachers. I don’t. If you tell the kid that he can be an average student,
But the teacher is like, how can you just be an average student? You used to be a top student, you can’t be like this. I have something to say. I think you two professors will not argue with the teachers. But you do want to argue with each other. It’s, it’s okay.
This season, we have two professors here, we will find a time for them to debate. I’m just wondering, how can you still believe that someone who is poor, ignorant, and thinks too much of himself can be attractive in modern society? Where did you get that? You were right, I really
Am angry and envious about such people. Why it’s easier for economists to find a date, but difficult for them to keep that date, I’ll tell you later. People who study philosophy can [He’s achieved nothing.] achieve nothing. [Exciting moments on this Saturday.] Mi Yang, what do you think of YEE CHIN’s performance today?
I couldn’t make the decision until the final second. Because I feel that I’m unworthy. I think these two are just amazing. This is such a wonderful debate. Thankfully, I don’t need to summarise for YEE CHIN or Calvin. I think they did a great job. This is what I have been waiting
To see on I Can I BB. Thank you. I actually think Calvin did a great job. But, it seems, during the whole process, I didn’t hear about what I care about, my child. When my child is facing difficulties, I should talk to him, see how I can help him. Solving those difficulties
For my kid sure is one way. But I need to see what kind of situation he is in. That is something I care about. So, about this topic, I didn’t hear that in what you’ve said. I have this feeling that this father is great, he is efficient. But he doesn’t seem like
The gentle dad I was expecting. Also, while you were listening to YEE CHIN, I knew you were thinking about what you should say, so you were looking in the ground and listening carefully. I think you did a good job as a gentleman. In contrast, while you were speaking,
YEE CHIN was looking at you like that, and, she was like a bully to me, [Please don’t play tricks on me.] saying, what can you do to me? I think that’s just horrible, it’s like she was trying to disturb you. I think that’s funny. It’s just a technique. Is it?
Is that technique called threatening? She disturbs my mind. Disturb your mind. I learned this from Xiaoxiao, he told me to leave this technique on stage this season. But, after hearing from Kevin, I am now leaning toward YEE CHIN. If I’m to make the choice now, I will possibly choose
Not to argue with teachers. But I will teach my child to do that. Yes, it’s let her debate with her teachers. Exactly. Parents don’t have to do everything for their children. True. The best education is letting them know his life belongs to himself. GAN YEE CHIN has entered the next round. Congratulations. Bravo.
Both of them are amazing. Okay, now, what Calvin will face [Getting four votes.] [Getting wait-listed.] is four votes for you to be on the waiting list. Calvin. Thank you. Nice job, bravo. Hi guys. Bravo. An excellent job. After I was seated, I felt less comfortable without a backrest. I should have been
More aggressive and find myself a chair with a backrest. [The affirmative, Calvin; The negative, Gan Yee Chin.] [The affirmative, Calvin: wait-listed.] There is too much homework that my child stays up late, should I argue with teachers? The answer to this is It helps you study more efficiently, Live-streaming courses on Zuoyebang, they help.
That topic on homework seems customised for you. Absolutely. do you have any idea how difficult homework is now? Even I can’t solve some of them. But the most important thing about studying is the right method. The important thing is that you need help. Haven’t you tried it? I have.
Live-steaming courses on Zuoyebang are amazing. Not only are they taught by known teachers, there are also teachers who can answer your questions. My son can now study more efficiently, so he scores more in exams. Now you also have bonus classes, you can buy them on JD.com for just 49.
Hurry and buy some for your kid! Bang, bang bang live-streaming courses on Zuoyebang, bang, bang bang, there is help on Zuoyebang. Holding the win so tight, making shopping so joyful. Now, with JD.com, let’s reveal the list of the next round. [Announcing the winners.] My gratitude goes to all our audience,
All debaters that have entered the next round and all debaters on the waiting list. I also want to thank all our guests, especially our three coaches and Mi Yang. See you next time. [See you this Saturday.] [Preview of the next episode.] Welcome to I Can I BB season seven,
Today we have 1 VS 1 matchups. Do we have to be together after telling you I like you? This result-oriented concept of love is just so immature, sweetheart! I just want to ask you, she is rich, is she richer than Li Gu? Still, Nanxiang poured wine on her so that she stank.
The premise of this topic is still in love. Why two people who are still in love can’t break up with each other? So, what I’m hearing is your love has faded? Three, two, one, stop. You’ll be on the waiting list, we’ll make some space for you. My vote goes to Calvin anyway.
If you want to see something interesting, here it comes, ready? [The ultimate battle! Professor Xue vs. Professor Liu.] The two coaches, please. Let’s go. Let’s go, Xue! Because philosophy cares about verification rather than perjury. It’s not that objective. Philosophers don’t have many academic achievements, they achieve nothing, and they are poor.
It’s hard for economists to keep a date, that’s the so-called economy, wearing a coat of science. We call that hindsight, or, a sophist. Full on. [The battle of professors. See you this Saturday.] I think the waiting list is interesting. I think people just treasure debaters from I Can I BB
Because they think every one of them is an excellent debater. When they have to eliminate some contestants, it’s regretful. It’s the one about kindergarten, whether boys can wear a skirt. for boys, whether they can wear a skirt in kindergarten is is not a convenient topic. People will consider you weird,
Why are you wearing a skirt? But to me, this can be overcome. The important thing is what you want to do rather than being restricted by gender.
