Boy crisis 1: academic backwardness!
As early as the 1980s, teachers in primary and secondary schools often said that girls in primary schools scored better than boys, but boys in junior high schools and senior high schools scored better than girls. In the 1990s, teachers found that the advantage of girls' grades remained in the senior grades. 2 1 century, the advantage of girls' test scores continued to the college entrance examination!
From 65438 to 0999, after the implementation of the university enrollment expansion policy, the leading edge of female students in the field of education became more and more obvious. The policy of university enrollment expansion has doubled the number of university students, while the number of female students is growing faster than that of male students. Before the expansion of university enrollment, the proportion of female students was 1998, which was 38.3 1%. After the expansion of university enrollment, the proportion of female students increased by almost one percentage point every year. By 2009, the proportion of female students (50.48%) exceeded that of male students. In the next four years, the proportion of female college students continued to rise, reaching 565,438+0.35% in 2065,438+02, and the number of female students exceeded that of male students by 647,800.
At the same time, the number of female masters in 20 10 also exceeds that of male masters, and the number of female masters in 20 12 exceeds that of male masters by about 40 thousand. The author's statistics on the top candidates in the college entrance examination show that during the period of 1999-2008, the proportion of boys among the top candidates in the college entrance examination decreased from 66.2% to 39.7%. Among them, the proportion of top students in liberal arts dropped from 47. 1% to 17.9%, which has always been regarded as a science with boys' advantage, and its proportion among top students in college entrance examination is also decreasing year by year. 1999, boys accounted for 86. 1%, and by 2008, this proportion had dropped to 60.0%, while the number of top women in science had increased from 13.9% to 40.0%. Now in 2020, this data has been multiplied several times and dozens of times. ...
Why do boys always fidget in class? Why do boys always sleep in class? Why do boys always make trouble in class? Why are there always active "activists" in the class? Why do boys sleep in class? Why are the top students in exams often girls, while the bottom students are basically boys? Why are most class cadres girls, while the monitor is always a boy?
Let's be clear, basically every boy is naturally active, adventurous, challenging and quarrelsome. In learning, boys are more inclined to learn through sports, operating experiments, using computers and participating in experiences. Comparatively speaking, boys' brains are more dependent on action and spatial mechanical stimulation. They are naturally more receptive to the stimulation of icons, images and moving objects, and less receptive to monotonous language stimulation. Faced with the above problems, our teacher's unanimous response is: criticism!
When every nerve in the boy's body urged them to run and jump, he was forced to sit and listen to the class for hours. All beautiful fantasies are turned into powder, receiving "knowledge" like a machine, and then coming home from school tired, doing homework and sleeping. ...
Looking back at our educational content, we focus on perceptual education, lack of natural science education, and hands-on practice courses are not taken seriously. As the main subjects of the school, the teaching methods of Chinese, mathematics and English are mainly verbal teaching, and experience, activity and observation are considered to be extremely important ways. Class: The teacher eloquently tells us "knowledge" on the blackboard, and we constantly input it into our brains like machines. ...
Learning is so repetitive that the school strives to cultivate "three good students". As a result, energetic and whimsical children have become quiet "handsome men" and methodical "scholars". At the same time, all outstanding boys with potential have been strangled. Their enthusiasm for exploring the world gradually recedes with the deepening of the so-called "education" in the school, and finally they only care about their grades.
Faced with such education, girls are more receptive because they like to obey authority. The teacher said 1 is 1. Boys are not. The way of thinking of boys belongs to "You are right, but I still have to question", such as why 1+ 1 = 2≠3? But creative boys like this are usually classified as "problem children", so a typical boy must become like a girl in thought and character if he wants to adapt to our education and survive in this so-called education system. The Ministry of Education and teachers don't care about the different psychological and physiological needs of boys and girls, but only care about grades, and implement so-called "fair education", putting 50 or 60 students in a classroom to implement "unified education" ...
What is a true fair education? It is to let every child's nature develop fully and freely. However, promoting the development of boys does not mean weakening the development of girls. The relationship between them is not zero-sum, but a win-win relationship that promotes each other. Therefore, only by respecting nature and teaching based on "sex" can education truly realize the fair and harmonious development of boys and girls!
Boy crisis 2: psychological problems!
School is the main place for teenagers to learn and grow up, but looking back, our current education system seems to be only one-sided pursuit of school enrollment rate. Adolescence is an important period of personality formation. Curiosity, sensitivity, adventure, getting the upper hand, like imitation but weak discrimination are the common psychological characteristics of teenagers. If it is badly stimulated, it will easily lead to crime. But our school basically ignores moral education! Parents also believe that sending their children to school means "everything will be fine", so that children can grow into "adults" at school smoothly, and little attention is paid to their mental health. Students rarely get in touch with some basic social common sense, living standards and social morality ... In adolescence, they first played truant and fought, then robbed and mixed up with society, and embarked on the road of crime ... When there is no remedy, it is too late to regret.
Are there few juvenile delinquency? Previously, when the news media reported juvenile delinquency, the phenomenon of "15- 16 years old" appeared. The report quoted the statistics of the Juvenile Delinquency Research Association, showing that in recent years, the total number of juvenile delinquency has accounted for more than 70% of the total number of criminal offences in China, of which juvenile delinquency cases aged 15- 16 accounted for more than 70%. 65438+80% of minors are under the age of 08. Headline juvenile crime news has been "flooded"! Anthony giddens, a famous sociologist, said: "It is not violence and crime that threaten social order, but people."
Boy crisis 3: physical decline!
? The physique of boys in our country is declining year by year. They are taller and heavier than before.
Yes, but vital capacity, speed and strength, and vision index have been declining.
The reasons for this situation can be summarized as follows:
1. Lack of exercise
The school doesn't attach importance to sports at all. Students' exercise time is almost zero, and junior high school students' class time is from 6: 30 am to 65438+ 02: 00 noon every day; 2:30 pm to 9: 30 pm-10: 30 pm, not to mention, high school students often burn the midnight oil. There is only one and a half hours of running time in a day, and one week 1-2 physical education class is also considered as a dispensable course by teachers, and it is often occupied by the "main teacher". ...
2. Dietary problems
Students seldom pay attention to "reasonable collocation" and "safety" in the canteen. Anyway, they eat in the sea instead of in the lake. The school adheres to the concept of "eat more meat to grow up", regardless of students' health and physical fitness; Students are also "as long as they can't eat, they will eat until they die" and strive to eat back 2000 yuan a semester. ...
Is this a new generation of national pillars in the 2 1 century? ! It's hard to imagine what China will be like in the future!
The root cause is nothing more than a problem with our education system.
The former president of Yale University said: China education is "the biggest joke in the history of human civilization". It is not difficult to find that our so-called "education" is just a tactic of "asking the sea", which makes students "listen to things outside the window and concentrate on reading sage books" and screen "talents" among thousands of candidates. Under such school education, education has become "receiving school education", and the lack of practical experience and exercise also denies children's ability to learn independently. This kind of education is only suitable for cultivating knowledgeable slaves, but in modern open society, people are required to make their own decisions, and there is no standard answer in life. So the result of this exam-oriented education is to cultivate a group of students who can't adapt to society ... and boys have become the biggest "victims" of our education system! So when we asked where the men in China were, everyone found the answer here. They were all problem children!
In this way, our education system has been screened out, and all the cleverest, most energetic, most challenging, smartest and most promising children are excluded from the problem children, otherwise it will suppress the abnormal situation and cause psychological problems. So, is there any hope for the future of this country? We keep saying that we love the flowers of our motherland, but we haven't cultivated them well. On the contrary, it is difficult to destroy them. Is this kind of education reasonable?
Therefore, the countless crises faced by boys in academic performance, physique, psychology and social adaptation are closely related to the current educational model. This exam-oriented education centered on entrance examination has aggravated the harm of all crises to boys and is the fiercest killer of boys' crises! The backwardness or even failure of boys' study will have a great impact on their individuals and the whole society!
But as long as we knew what "education" was, we wouldn't be here today. Germany's "Declaration on Education" 200 years ago said: The purpose of education is not to cultivate people to adapt to the traditional world, not to focus on practical knowledge and skills, but to awaken students' strength, cultivate their initiative, abstract induction and understanding ability in autonomous learning, and enable them to make meaningful choices in various unpredictable future situations! It is precisely because of Germany's emphasis on education that it has been the leader of western industrial technology and manufacturing for more than 100 years, and Germany is still a world-class manufacturing power and industrial power. It is precisely because of Germany's success that Germany's education system has become the object of imitation and learning in other countries.
In the future AI era, 50% of jobs in China will disappear and be replaced by robots smarter than human beings. It is more efficient to be a trade union than human beings. What they can't do is just some complicated work that needs thinking and brains.
At the same time, this new education, which focuses on cultivating students' minds and thinking, is getting bigger and bigger. There will be an irreversible trend in China in the future, that is, educational stratification. Moreover, new students will have more money than students in the system.
As students, what can we do in the future when we grow up under such an exam-oriented education system?
As parents, do we really want our children to become mechanical workers under such an education system?
Will the boy crisis continue like this? If not, what do we need to do?
This is a problem that we have to think about. After all, the future of the country is determined by education.
