Tang Ran is one of the students studying abroad. In order to enable their son to study abroad, Tang Ran's parents saved half their life's money and collected hundreds of thousands of study abroad expenses. Originally, I thought that Tang Ran would make great achievements after studying abroad, but what I didn't expect was that Tang Ran didn't learn good things after returning home, but he learned a big basket of bad things. Thinking about eating, drinking and having fun all day, I have no intention of looking for a job at all, so my parents quarreled with Tang Ran several times.
Tang Ran's parents don't understand, don't they say that a relaxed western education is more suitable for children's growth? How can it be counterproductive when it comes to your own children?
To solve this problem, we must first understand the difference between China education and western education.
As the name implies, the biggest feature of western education is "enlightened", which mainly advocates tapping children's potential and cultivating their specialties.
However, China's education does not teach students in accordance with their aptitude like western education. China pays attention to "universality" in education, that is to say, this kind of education is suitable for anyone to some extent, but it is not so beneficial to the development of individual nature.
When it comes to education in China, the word "exam-oriented education" is unavoidable. In order to be admitted to the favorite university, children often need to spend a lot of time on their studies, either attending classes or writing papers all day, and they have no time to take care of others.
From this perspective, it seems that the advantages of western education are far greater than those of China. Is this really the case? In fact, for our country, China education is more in line with the national conditions, because western education also has certain drawbacks.
In most western countries, the economic conditions are far superior to those of China. Even if you don't go to college, the salary as a worker is very considerable. In this case, the pressure on employees will not be so great. Even if you are unemployed, there are government subsidies.
But in China, the reality is much more cruel. With the increasingly fierce competition in the talent market in China, many companies have set a threshold for candidates, that is, academic qualifications. Without education, it is difficult to find a satisfactory job in China. What's more, for poor children in China, reading is basically the only way out.
Furthermore, China's educational resources are limited. As we all know, China has a very large population base, which means that many children may be under pressure to drop out of school. In addition, the limited educational resources also make it impossible for China to "teach students in accordance with their aptitude", because it consumes enormous time and energy.
Most importantly, the applicable groups of western-style loose education are very limited. Under such relaxed conditions, few people are not tempted by the outside world. Many students are addicted to feasting after studying abroad, so they naturally have no intention to study.
In fact, learning originally requires hard work. How can you become an upper-class person if you blindly pursue comfort? However, after learning, parents should pay attention to giving their children some time to relax and cultivate their nature. All-round talents are what society really needs.
