Educational Story Emile: The Significance of Education
Rousseau, the author of Emile, believes that everything that comes from the creator's hand is good, but once it reaches people's hands, it will go bad. Humans force one land to breed things that grow on another land, and force one tree to bear another fruit. He confused climate, wind and rain, and seasons. He killed his dog, his horse and his slaves. He turned everything upside down and destroyed the essence of everything. He likes ugly and deformed things. He doesn't want things to be natural like that, even for people. He wants to train people into horses and treat them as people in the garden.

In fact, this is a theory of good nature. Everything is fine when people are born, and everything is called by successors because of the influence of others. A newborn child is like a piece of paper. Those who cut well are good people, and those who cut badly are bad people ...

From this perspective, this statement seems untenable.

However, if there is no such cutting, will the human situation be worse? Imagine, if a person is born with no education, can he become a general? His nature has been growing according to its function. Will he be trampled by passers-by like a sapling growing on the roadside?

Today's education is divided into three categories: natural education, material education and human education. Among these three kinds of education, the education of nature is not decided by people at all, and the education of things can only be decided by people. Only human education can be completely controlled by us, and this control can only be said to be hypothetical, because no one can control everything around a child. This is the importance of family education and public education.

Make people adults?

What is the standard?

What's the goal?

What impact will it receive?
