There is a little girl living upstairs, in grade two. The round face is very cute. When I come to my house and see my books, I will exclaim, there are so many books. When you see The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Songs, you will exclaim again. Look at this, too, and then open the book and tell me which sentence in this version is wrong. Facing this post-90s generation, I feel a little scared. I feel that my age has really taken a big step forward, but my knowledge has taken a big step back.

But chatting with the little girl's parents, I realized that the little girl was very nervous about her study. Every night when I go home, I am locked in my room to study and do my homework. I don't eat or go out. On Saturday and Sunday, I will go to the training class to study various courses of the school (I really can't keep up with the times, listening and thinking, I study the courses of the school in the training class, so what do I study at school? In addition, I hired a tutor to take classes at home twice a week. In addition to reading, it is reading, and the little girl seems to have no time for other activities. I think that after spending so much time and money, the little girl is not the first, but should she be the second? As a result, as soon as my words came out, my parents shook their heads: if the grades are good, they will not be in a hurry to spend those money and time. Then tell me in detail how much it will cost if I don't get into high school, and how much it will cost if I don't get into college. In the eyes of girls' parents, girls' achievements represent girls. I think girls have the advantages of being knowledgeable and insightful, but they think it is evil.

I was shocked (of course, I'm not shocked now. After leaving school for so many years, I have forgotten the pressure of school. Looking back carefully, didn't I come out in this high-pressure learning environment? ), is the ultimate goal of education only universities? So, after leaving college? Is it true that when you come out of college, you must be a talented person, so you will have no worries in your life? Isn't the information about Adventure Island in the news enough to sound the alarm for our education?

Since I gave birth to my son, I feel it is not easy to be a parent. After providing food and drinks for children, Lazar will face the problem of education. However, this subject has never been taught in school. If we rely entirely on the parenting experience of the older generation and are afraid of falling behind the times, then the children we teach will not be able to meet the needs of social development, so we have to explore bit by bit and cooperate with the school education. In our generation, all aspects of society are advancing with the times, but the school education model is still standing still. Therefore, we should make more efforts to explore children's education methods, so as not to destroy a genius in our own hands. Fortunately, our early education market is booming. We can run from one institution to another with our children in our arms, and we can pick up books and learn from one school to another. Developed information exchange shows us that many children can read at the age of one, count at the age of two, and excel in English at the age of three, so they are elated and think that as long as they work hard, children can become one of them.

However, when we go to the early education center for classes, when we pick up books to study educational methods, and when we look at the so-called successful examples of early education, we don't seem to have seriously thought about what kind of education we need. Do the cases we see really represent success? Is literacy and arithmetic the ultimate goal of early education?

When I was doing Du Man flashcards and the so-called expert's scientific literacy, arithmetic and other teaching methods, I kept asking why we were experiencing such pain when we should be happy. I made great efforts to let my son know more than 100 words, but after a month's slack, my son forgot half of them. I tried very hard to let him practice the combination of quantities within five, but my son strongly resisted, so I gave up the compulsion and let nature take its course. As a result, one day my son showed me the combination of quantities within ten. The former's pain and the latter's happiness make me deeply reflect: If children have corresponding literacy sensitive period and number sensitive period (Montessori's definition is sensitive period, and now I think it is because children's logical thinking ability has developed to a certain extent, so that they can understand this knowledge when they study, and get twice the result with half the effort), then does it make sense for us to forcibly instill it in non-sensitive period? One-year-old literacy 1000 compared with five-year-old literacy 1000, where is the strength?

Then I reflected that if we only take literacy and arithmetic as the criteria for the success of early education, it is easy to ignore the development of children's own logical thinking ability. In the whole intellectual system, logical thinking ability is definitely much more important than the rigid memory of a lot of knowledge, because on the basis of basic memory, strong logical thinking can establish a richer and more comprehensive knowledge system, which is more conducive to creating new knowledge. In the early days, a lot of time was spent memorizing a lot of knowledge, which weakened the training of logical thinking ability, and it was not worth the loss. On the surface, it is the first step, but in fact it is lack of stamina.

So the goal of education should be long-term. Look at the advertisements, not what will be done now in this situation, but whether the social life of children after graduation from school is also successful. To do early education, we should not focus on literacy and arithmetic, but on the cultivation of the whole intellectual system and moral education. It is the real starting line to plan as a whole and grasp the really important training. When you go to school, you should focus on your career after graduation and make a general plan for your career after graduation. Now, you will know which is more important, training class or normal social activities.
