Cultural inheritance needs education, and primary and secondary education is extremely important on the road of life. I don't want to say more, just point out two big problems, and then I want to discuss why this phenomenon occurs.
There are two main problems in primary and secondary education:
1 exam-oriented education
Exam-oriented education makes students in China only know how to study hard and study hard. The idea is to study for the entrance examination, and the purpose of primary and secondary education is only to cope with the examination. Long live being admitted to the university. Nowadays, schools, society and all walks of life have long deviated from the essence of education and' derailed' early. Therefore, I think we should abolish this kind of exam-oriented education, and more seriously, we should abolish school education. Therefore, what I admire more is Aristotle's free and unfettered school education, which makes free education awaken free personality.
2 the essential direction of education
Education is to cultivate us into free people with independent personality and ideas. However, in today's realistic education, no matter what occupation, activity, education, economy, literature and art, military affairs, etc., these things only serve politics. When these things conflict with politics, they can only be eclipsed. In this way, I think it is better to have a degree than not to have one. This kind of education makes people lose their soul and essence. It is better to let them live a mediocre life.
However, the existence of educational problems is inevitable and obvious to all, so here I want to pursue his essence and find out his reasons through these phenomena.
The thoughts of Confucius and Mencius have always imprisoned the world, and the thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi are also the shackles of people's hearts, which have always bound people's souls. The so-called morality, what "three cardinal guides and five permanents" and "three obedience and four virtues" are just their personal views and have been extended by later generations. However, people who have their own ideas appear in the later generations and will be regarded as a laughing stock by their peers, which is immoral and corrupts customs. So nowadays, there are only a handful of people who really have ideas.
However, public opinion is one reason for this problem, but it is the second and most important political issue that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
In the education of China's Millennium culture, most rulers take Confucianism as their political thought to achieve their own political goals. Millennium history tells us that any topic, even humanities, science and technology, military affairs, economy, literature and so on. It's really pale and powerless in front of politics.
Therefore, it is eclipsed. No one knows why they can't get rid of politics and develop independently and freely, because all the people or things that challenge politics and get rid of politics have disappeared from the counter in the bud and have long since vanished. Who dares to discuss this problem?
In order to make the ruled obey their orders more strongly, the ruler needs an idea. In fact, they chose Confucianism, which is just an empty name. Who dares not to follow? Let people unite with themselves, and those who cheat can only be ruthlessly eliminated.
Therefore, I think the essential problem of education is not in education itself, nor in places where education is no longer implemented, such as schools, families and society. In fact, the problem comes from the government, that is, political reasons.
Just as students have just entered the threshold of freshman year, they should educate the freshman class Committee and manage the class, and implement the translucent system. There is no need to be too open or too fair in everything. You can do something or hide something. Ha ha ha, ridiculous, what is a translucent system? This idea of being an official is undoubtedly a shock to young people in our young age. We are still young, maybe we will be officials in the future, but the most important thing for us is to learn how to be a man. Why can't it be aboveboard? Instead, we should learn from those cunning people who violate their conscience and lose their humanity.
Therefore, I don't have much hope for realistic education. Many people think that' how can education be better implemented'. However, I think the key to the implementation of education is to see who will implement it and who will implement it. Are they real scholars, people who can really shoulder the heavy responsibility of education, such as Lu Xun, Lao She and Haizi, or government authorities? Therefore, education now is not education. It's education, and the word "Bei" is added in front of it, which makes education seem a bit odd compared with real education.
Why is this happening? I sum up this phenomenon as' hairstyle phenomenon'.
For example, in the eyes of the world, there are many kinds of hairstyles, but the most common one is' parting', including' 55 points, 46 points, 37 points, 28 points, and even' 19 points'. However, people don't know if they have observed that this hairstyle is inherent to people of certain ages and classes, and no one will comb it as they want.
Admittedly, this is particularly related to everyone's aesthetics. But I don't think this is the most important thing. For example, people with a score of 50-50 are mostly so-called hooligans, hooligans and street hooligans, 46 points are students who are not polluted by polluted air, 37 points are in ordinary company classes and employees, 28 points are even 19 points.
Why? In fact, hairstyle is a symbol of identity and status. Some people, such as the so-called "local ruffians and hooligans" in the world, do not have too many political goals or class interests, so there is no need to have too many means of struggle. Intuitively speaking, they are indifferent to the world, do not participate in any struggle, but remain neutral, and they do not have to take sides. Those' students' who are childlike and enthusiastic are still under various pressures under the leadership of the ruling class. Although young and promising, we should take a stand and stand on that side. In order to make a living,' company employees' naturally want to please their superiors, so their attitude is very clear, and they must follow the leaders anyway. Why don't people in other classes comb their hair like this when they say "1February 28th, 9"? It's not that they don't want to, but that they dare not. This hairstyle can best show the identity and status of people in this class. They go with the party wholeheartedly, respond to the call of the top leaders, and live and die without the party. So the hairstyle can express their thoughts more firmly, and they must have walked away.
In fact, the essence of education is similar to this. "Education" or "being educated" is to let you know your position and whether you are willing to follow the government. "If you go with it, you will prosper, but if you go against it, you will die."
Education sometimes attaches importance to or despises certain problems. I don't think it was an accident. If you are not weak, you must strengthen it. If you are strong, you must weaken such a simple problem. This is still related to political reasons. Any activity should revolve around centralization and be restricted by the central authorities. When those in power feel that the country will be stable forever, they will try their best to find some unknown areas to show a little concern for the ruled and make the ignorant people feel really' warm'. But when its rule is threatened, it is necessary to come up with a plan to make people's hearts more stable and their power more concentrated. At this time, education will play a role, just like the' Cultural Revolution'. During the ten-year Cultural Revolution, didn't those in power consolidate their authority and win the hearts of the people?
Therefore, education today is no longer necessary. I have always admired the free and easy school education. Maybe it also has various shortcomings. Of course, this is not exactly the same as the education method in Aristotle's time. The present society is completely different from the past. I will devote my whole life to it. I also hope that people with lofty ideals from all walks of life will find ways to help people get rid of it and let them truly understand the true meaning of life.
