What is education?
The university has searched for this definition. This paper, of course, refers to the so-called "paper" expected by China. There are many opinions. The basic definition of education in textbooks is "education is an activity to cultivate people". Of course, this definition is actually nonsense. What do you think of education? Or do you have a deeper understanding of education, or in your opinion, is it your own unique view?

1, education is training, education and teaching are not the same thing, and teaching and training people are not the same thing.

What is training? Cultivation means growth. In other words, you are being educated every second from birth to now, including every second in the future. What the subject can't understand now is precisely what this society can't understand. Learning to eat is education, learning to walk is education, playing games is education, falling in love is education, and lovelorn is education. It's just that education plays a different role, but it is accompanied by your growth. Nowadays, most people in society can't face up to this problem and think that education is limited. Because teachers' children are really trained by teachers, how many parents know that their activities are not for raising children, but for raising children? To tell the truth, the current school education, "teaching" is still good, but it is far from the word training, and teachers do not have so much time and willingness to train every child. Teachers don't have time to train, others don't think their activities are training, and education loses first! Nowadays, many people say that schools know the enrollment rate and high schools know how to get into universities. I'll talk about this psychology later, but going to college is really a kind of training. In today's unbalanced educational resources, training you to a better university can really make you grow better.

2. Education is a social activity, and education is really not just an activity of schools and teachers.

Students' grades are not good, and most family education needs some problems. Of course, achievement and study are not the whole of education, but they are also components. How many fathers and sons, mother and son, are actually speaking from an equal angle? In real life, the dialogue is "I spent so much money on your school, but you still don't study hard." Is this equal? In addition, the school family is only a small part of society. Nowadays, many people attack the college entrance examination. Many people think that college students are useless and discriminate against technical school students. Schools are, to a great extent, executors of social will. Society advocates good universities, and schools can only desperately improve their scores and send their children to good universities. The uselessness of college students is actually the result of the disconnection between social education and school education. However, there is a group of people who, while cursing university education and college students, enjoy a large number of high-quality and cheap labor provided by education for the society. Education has been in into the pit!

Education takes many forms.

The most traditional system is apprenticeship, in which students learn step by step with their teachers and then start their own businesses. This is true of martial arts novels, and so is the traditional chef industry and haircut industry. Apprenticeship is entirely up to the master. He wants you, and then you can have certain skills (after learning).

Then there is Confucius' one-to-many general education. Traditional knowledge only spread among noble disciples, and Confucius pioneered mass education. The purpose of this kind of education is more to teach people how to be a man and how to read.

According to Pieces of Great History, the traditional private schools in China can teach people basic literacy and correspondence, create a cultural atmosphere in rural areas, and make people behave in a specific way. .

Then our recent education system is foreign, and the purpose is not the above, but more to provide the necessary technical talents for the society.

Education in China has a basic nine-year compulsory education. There are vocational education and universities. These systems are the result of professional division of labor after the industrial revolution. In the past, most workers did manual work and did not need ability requirements. Later, machines were introduced into work, replacing many manual jobs. People's ability to operate machines began to become a necessary quality, so there were universities and vocational education to cultivate these abilities.

Generally speaking:

A, low level-imparting and mastering knowledge (that is, past experience) and understanding certain common sense. This level is just like the ancestors used to use knots and oral communication. The purpose is to pass on what they have to the next generation.

This course is not a simple matter for current education. With so much knowledge, how to choose, how to connect logically, how to make children absorb it better, and how to absorb it better. B, intermediate-beautiful three-view guidance, dealing with people C, intermediate-how children discover (observe) themselves and discover (observe) the world, and have unique thinking and independent personality.
