The core purpose of elite education is to train social organizers.
People who play the role of the core organization hub in community organizations are elites. A group of organized people is called a community. Nation, country. Families, industries, enterprises, companies, classes, interest groups, qq groups and underworld gangs all need someone who can maintain this relationship.
The elite are the organizers of all these communities.
And elite education is to cultivate people with organizational ability. (Usually, to apply for an American university, you need to provide resumes such as the president of the student union and the captain of the team. Need organizational skills).
Therefore, not only those who are responsible for the future destiny of the country, the nation and mankind can be called elites. A company that can manage three people is also an elite, and the leader of a two-person family is also an elite.
After the goal of elite education is determined, its content can be sorted out step by step. That is, the content of elite education is: the ability to accomplish one thing (goal) through cooperation with others.
First, elites need to have the ability to grasp this matter. You should know enough about this matter to become a top talent in this field. Simply put, the better you do, the greater your possible achievements.
Second, elites need enough language skills, so-called emotional intelligence. The necessary ability to cooperate with others.
Third, patience, concentration, responsibility and ability to resist pressure are needed.
Fourth, knowledge of history, economics and understanding of human nature are essential courses in dealing with people.
The content is determined, and the rest is the carrier of education. Basically, the carrier is a group of teaching tasks, from simple to complex, and in the process of constantly completing various tasks, the elite's ability is obtained.
For example, a director keeps making movies in order to make longer, more interesting and more valuable videos.
A professional CEO is constantly working on more challenging projects. And organize manpower and material resources for this purpose.

Therefore, elite education is not mysterious. In the past, there were four societies: learn to do things, learn to be a man, learn to get along with people, and learn how to learn.
Another point of elite education is to learn to lead.
Typical alienated elite education is some aristocratic schools. Privilege talks about the background of elite education in Sao Paulo middle school, which I think is a typical alienated elite education. What "elite education" did at Sao Paulo Middle School. All this is to educate children to act like elites. In order to facilitate their contact with the privileged class and integrate into the high-end value system. This is not to train elites, but to train a group of hitchhikers, just to ensure that they will not fall behind. There are many similar famous schools, most of which are imported from China.
As for the education of Chinese studies in China, there is basically nothing. Other relatively unconventional schools in China (note that I'm not talking about internet addiction schools and special education institutions), not to mention their teaching objectives. If you can understand their teaching practice, you will know that they are cultivating waste.
Internet addiction schools, special education institutions, they are to train children with educational failure or congenital deficiency into normal people, which is worthy of recognition.
Again, leading a person is an elite, and a good family leads only one person (leadership must start with the cooperation of two people). I like elitism in a broad sense. I am also an advocate of elite education. practitioner
If I have time, I will tell you a few cases of my elite education.
