Bertrand Russell, a famous British philosopher, mathematical logician, historian and atheist in the 20th century, once famously said, "People are born ignorant, but they are not stupid. It is education that makes people stupid. " If his conclusion is true, then each of us is doomed to make a choice between ignorance and stupidity. History tells us that there are still many educated smart people, and most of the people who won the Nobel Prize have received good higher education. Obviously, his conclusion is only valid for nerds who read dead books.

Since entering the new century, our education has been criticized. As long as the contemporary education in China is mentioned, parents, students, teachers and high-level experts and scholars can point out one, two, three, four and five problems. To this end, the government has also issued corresponding quality education plans and guidelines to reduce the burden on students. But it turns out that the pressure on students is getting heavier and heavier. There are many reasons for this situation, which can be summed up in two main ways: first, the education practitioners, driven by their own interests, make the education that should be normal show a trend of abnormal development; Second, driven by the impatience of expecting their children to succeed, parents blindly follow the trend and keep up with the joneses in education investment. There is a vicious interaction and cycle between them, either tacit or helpless.

Eventually lead to the absurd situation we feel today. Give a recent example. Recently, the Chinese poetry conference has been heated up. When I walked in the community in the morning, I saw many sights. Mother is holding a thick stack of printed ancient poetry materials, followed by a teenage pupil. When the mother said the topic, the children began to recite the corresponding poems. I am also a lover of classical literature, and I often have great reverence for China's ancient literary masters.

The main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development.

The previous basic education emphasized basic knowledge and basic ability. Students can read and write, calculate algebra and geometry, add ABC English to mathematics and physics, and be proficient in morality, intelligence, physical education and art. They are good students. ...

There are quite a lot of requirements now, such as developing core literacy with foreign students in 2 1 century, and developing core literacy for Chinese students is different in every subject.

I think it is quite comprehensive and forward-looking ...

The problem is-

China is too big and crowded. Specific to different schools in different regions, different children receive different education. ...

You can compare the attached primary school in Tsinghua with the Hope Primary School in xiuwen county, Guiyang, Guizhou, and you will know how different it is.

In high school, the education students receive is still different.

However, for the minimum and widest fairness, the college entrance examination is the final evaluation method.

Two or three days, several subjects and several papers, each paper is up to two and a half hours. ...

How many things can be reflected, guess?

But the comprehensive evaluation is very difficult, such as how to calculate aerobics? What if you can make a small invention? How to calculate if you have money to study in Europe and America at home?

So,

Try to get your children into a good school.

Still the school district is expensive!
