The utilitarian performance of education has four aspects: education pursues short-term behavior, is eager for quick success and instant benefit, and deviates from its own purposes and laws. Personally, there are utilitarian tendencies and practices in China's current education to varying degrees, mainly in the following aspects: First, in terms of educational objectives, we attach more importance to talents than adults. The essence of education is to cultivate realistic people and real people, and to pay attention to the comprehensive and sustainable development of people's body and mind. However, utilitarian education pays more attention to intellectual education than moral education; Emphasis on specialty and light on all-round development; Pay attention to reputation and family, but ignore how to be a man. As a result, education has become intellectual education, and students' development is one-sided and it is difficult to achieve great things. Second, in the value orientation of education, it emphasizes economic benefits and ignores the quality of education. At present, whether it is a public school or a private school, whether it is higher education or general education, whether it is institutionalized education or non-institutionalized education, one of the important purposes of running a school is to make profits. Tuition fees range from hundreds of thousands of tuition fees or school selection fees to as little as 100 yuan for books, tuition fees, clothing fees, tuition fees, computer fees and so on. The number and amount of projects are amazing. Education has become a means of income generation, and the amount of money has become a watershed for students to go to any school. In this way, it not only increases the economic burden of families, but also brings unfairness in education, which affects the image and reputation of socialist education, and objectively causes some high-quality talents to be lost because of poverty. Some correspondence education and self-taught education are poorly managed and diplomas are issued indiscriminately. The purpose of "education" is to sell diplomas, and those who come to "school" are to buy diplomas. After selling and buying, everyone is happy. The result is a diploma, no level, cheating yourself and harming the country. In order to make money, some schools blindly expand their enrollment. No matter what the level of students is, as long as they have money; No matter the size of the classroom or the number of students, as long as it can fit in. As a result, money was made, but the quality of education was sacrificed. Some teachers teach not to educate people, but to make money. What to say in class, after class and with students as the object of making money and classes as the purpose. Third, in educational behavior, we deviate from educational laws, attach importance to results and ignore processes. First of all, students are ignored as growing people, and their normal social communication needs and life experiences as social individuals are ignored. It is believed that students' task is learning, learning becomes the only thing, scores become the lifeblood, and diplomas become the ultimate goal. In this way, the school worked overtime to make up lessons, and the students did the questions over and over again. Teachers become teaching machines and students become examination machines. Secondly, take the practice of pulling out the seedlings and encouraging them, and make early childhood education primary and primary education advanced. Under the requirements and supervision of schools and parents, children always have to complete educational tasks far beyond their age. When children should experience the world and others with heart and play happily, childhood and innocence are mercilessly deprived by utilitarian education. Third, we should pay attention to those who are expected to go to school and ignore those who are hopeless. Good grades, everything is fine; Poor grades, poor everything. Some students with learning difficulties often drop out of school because of teachers' discrimination and sarcasm. This kind of educational behavior not only violates the principle of educational fairness, but also deviates from teachers' professional ethics. Fourth, in the way of education, teaching has become the only way, and colorful social practice activities have been excluded from the road of educating people. Schools engage in closed education, divorced from society, life and people. Education is only for exams, teaching is for grades, and learning is also for grades. Teach what you bring, and teach what you bring; Take what you learn and learn how to take it. Without social practice, not only people's knowledge can't be transformed into ability and belief, but also people's sociality can't be generated, and people's harmonious development can't be realized. Everything is long, the score is the first; Education is the only way to teach. Some students only regard reading as the only means to change their destiny and are indifferent to society and life. As a result, some students have high scores, low quality and one-sided development; Individualism is supreme and collectivism is lacking; Neither an adult nor a talent; Hate labor and admire enjoyment.
