Looking at the facts at home and abroad, we might as well be more unkind to children's education, which is definitely a good thing that "ruthlessness" is better than "sentimentality".
The ancient Spartans were famous for their martial arts and had the most powerful army in Greece. Lawmakers believe that if a person always escapes from pain in his early years and has fear, he will not be able to face the pain and difficulties in the future. Therefore, the children of Sparta have been assembled since the age of 7, and they are not allowed to wear shoes or do some hard work that ordinary people can't bear except for walking and fighting. After such tempering, perseverance, courage and obedience to discipline naturally became the character of Spartans.
On the other hand, many young parents are too busy making money to care about their own careers or their children's education. Grandparents just play the role of "afterheat" and enjoy family happiness, so "intergenerational education" has become a common phenomenon. The disadvantages of "intergenerational education" are quite serious. Because today's children are mostly only children, "things are scarce", and the learning task is heavy, which can please the elders. During a home visit, I saw a student eating boiled eggs, and his grandfather stood respectfully as a waiter to peel his eggshells. What a picture the "master" is waiting for the "young master" to eat. Because of "overindulgence" and "overindulgence", many children have lost the opportunity of life practice, which leads to the low ability of independent living of children now. In addition, it is easy for children to form selfish thoughts, making it difficult for children to put themselves in their shoes, unwilling to pay and return, lacking the ability to love, and becoming increasingly indifferent to the people they love.
On the contrary, many Japanese seem unreasonable in educating their children. They still let their children wear shorts in the ice and snow, and sometimes they don't stretch out their hands to pull or even say a word when they fall down. This is in stark contrast to our love for children, which is simply heartless.
However, I want to applaud this kind of "heartless" education loudly: in fact, whether a child is afraid of the cold and can bear hardships is closely related to his childhood habits in addition to his innate physique. When a child falls, not pulling him is actually to guide the child to think independently, try to cope with difficulties, cultivate the child's strong will and good habits, and be responsible for the child's future. This is the true love for children, which can be described as "ruthless and affectionate"!
In 2002, middle school students from China and China held a mountaineering competition in summer camp. Results The physical quality and psychological quality of Japanese students are far behind those of Japan! This is a realistic problem that has to be thought-provoking!
Here, I sincerely appeal to all parents and friends to give their children more "ruthless" education, which will definitely benefit in a few years.
