In order to make children get good grades in the college entrance examination, parents are cultivating their children from primary school or even preschool stage: buying school districts to enter good schools, buying various interest classes and remedial classes to improve their grades, buying various remedial books and problem sets, and so on. In short, there is an eternal truth before learning: does plum blossom incense not freeze bones?
This year's college entrance examination, an old grandmother who sent her granddaughter to Shanghai for the college entrance examination attracted everyone's attention. The 80-year-old grandmother and grandfather were both undergraduates in the 1960s. Because the granddaughter's mother is in poor health, she was brought up by her parents at an early age. Two old people spent 12 years from primary school to high school on remedial classes 12 yuan. Grandma choked up and said, just for her granddaughter to be admitted to Tsinghua.
Is this training mode reasonable?
First, education needs investment. Grandparents were college students in the 1960s, elites and intellectuals of that era. I believe that they also changed their destiny through education, realized economic accumulation, improved their social status and became the upper-middle class of the social class, which is admirable.
The old man hopes to train his granddaughter into the elite of the present era and become the talent needed by the country, so the college entrance examination is the only way and he is determined to win. This desire and expectation is reasonable. After all, since ancient times, people want their children to be dragons, not to mention grandparents who enjoy the education dividend and have a broad vision.
In today's society, it is increasingly difficult to achieve satisfactory results in education without money input. For example, the proportion of students from poor families admitted to Tsinghua Peking University is getting lower and lower, and it is impossible for students from poor families to have children.
Education is an investment, family conditions are good, and it is understandable to be willing to invest more for children; Those with poor economic conditions are willing to do their best, and they can't wronged their children's study and delay their future.
From elementary school to high school, grandparents spent more than 654.38+0 million yuan to make up lessons for their granddaughters. I believe that the money is within the range of their families, and this is not to show off anything, but to show that they have really worked hard for their children's study.
Second, the tears in grandma's eyes are full of helplessness to the present situation of education. Grandma is distressed that her granddaughter brushes the questions to 1 am every day and only sleeps for 4 or 5 hours every day. When I mentioned this, my eyes filled with tears.
In the old people's educational philosophy, granddaughter wants to be admitted to Tsinghua Peking University, that is, to give herself extra pressure, take more expensive and high-quality remedial classes, and make full use of every minute of every day to do exercises. Although parents spent a lot of money and children worked hard, there was no other way.
The efforts of the elderly and children are full of helplessness and compromise on the current situation of education, highlighting the reality of fierce competition among students.
He who suffers hardships is a master. According to the data of national college entrance examination in 20 19, only 6 out of every 0/0000 people can be admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University. If you want to stand out in the college entrance examination, what should you do without hard work?
Third, can high investment bring high returns? However, this college entrance examination girl spent more than 654.38+100,000 yuan from her grandparents to make up lessons and slept for 4 or 5 hours every day. Can she really be admitted to Tsinghua?
I agree with the efforts and hardships of girls, but the desperate high expectations of the elderly may really be a kind of heavy love, which puts pressure on the elderly and children. However, the result of high investment is not necessarily proportional to the efforts made and brings high returns.
Granddaughter finally ushered in the college entrance examination, and grandma was still in tears; How sad and disappointed would the two old people be if their granddaughter didn't get into Tsinghua and didn't reach their grandparents' expected goals?
