The abundance of material life in rural areas ensures that almost all rural students receive compulsory education carefree, but rural students and even the whole rural population have the problem of lack of spiritual civilization.

First, the depth of thought is insufficient. Pascal once said, "Man is a thinking reed." People without thoughts are like rotten stones and dry grass. It is worth noting that ideas are different from rationality and higher than rationality, and those ideas that make people pursue pure rationality are undoubtedly ridiculous. Reason cannot support the uniqueness of human beings. If so, what is the difference between human beings and intelligent machines besides their bodies? Nowadays, rural students lack ideological depth, neglect to observe the world and think deeply, and will not try to touch the essence of the world with their thoughts, thus forming profound beliefs. Instead, it stores knowledge like a machine, gradually losing its natural thirst for knowledge, gaining only superficial cognition and losing its due consciousness.

Second, the similarity of lifestyle is single. The popularity of the Internet in rural areas has brought short videos, online novels and games that almost all students participate in. Because of the internet, their lifestyle has become the same. Their words and deeds, ways of thinking and ways of entertainment are exactly the same, and even their dressing styles are similar, and the trend of comparison has also taken the opportunity to rise. Lose individuality in the pursuit of individuality, and refuse to be independent in fashion. As for reading and art, few students are close to it, and parents don't know its importance. If you go to a rural family at random, it is likely that there is nothing at home except students' textbooks, reference books and calendars, just like books. For the use of the internet, parents do not ignore it and let their children indulge; It is one-sided fear that forces children to stay away, and parents who lead their children by example almost do not exist.

Third, the similarity and vulgarity pursued by individuals. For most rural students, the purpose of study is to obey their parents and live more easily when they grow up. His life pursuit tends to be utilitarian. This can lead to the current situation of patriotism education in rural areas, that is, it does not talk about the reasons, does not grasp the fundamentals, is unpopular, and becomes a mere formality. Einstein once said: "I remind myself countless times every day that my spiritual life and material life depend on the labor of others." Whether they are dead or alive, I must try my best to repay what I have got and what I am getting. " The sense of patriotism is actually gratitude to the working people, not a necessity for no reason.

The above are the common problems of rural students in China, and the reason is that there are problems in education. And the responsibility of education, when the first parents, followed by teachers. Only when parents give their children a correct example and guidance in personality can teachers perform their duties of teaching and educating people normally. Rural parents should not neglect education because of their personal cultural literacy, but should increase investment in education, pay attention to guiding and supporting their children's interest in science and art, pay attention to early guidance and influence, avoid instilling utilitarian thoughts, and avoid stifling children's curiosity about unknown nature and questioning and criticizing authority with tough words. Rural teachers should carry out patriotic education in depth and avoid utilitarian teaching.
