differences between Chinese and American parents
(It's my translation practice)
In china, parents always help their children in their best, even make important decisions for their children. Whatever their children want, they believe that it is good for their children. As a result, the children's growth and education follow the parents' wish.
If the parents decide to let their children paticipate in an extra class to improve the chance that admitted by the important school, they will insist their decision. Even the children have no interest in it.
But in America,parents will respect their children's opinion and pay attention to them when making decisions.
Maybe it's admirable for Chinese parents' attention on education. However, they should learn how to balance the relationship between parents and children from American parents.

Maybe it's admirable for Chinese parents' attention on education, however, there is much they can learn about how to balance the relationship between parents and children from American parents.
Great translation Zoe ^_^ you've really captured the spirit of the text.
I made a few small alterations - please take them or leave them as you see fit ^_^
'However' is a good substitute for 'but'
In the last line I used 'there is much they can learn about' as I felt that this helped the line to flow more naturally.
