Through Mr. Wang's words, we can find that there is a dialectical relationship between running a school and transforming society: "To transform individuals means to transform society, and to transform society means to transform individuals." Therefore, if the two are separated, and the school-running people only run schools and the social reformers only transform society, education will be narrow, closed and divorced from reality because of its independence, and it will be difficult to achieve the goal of transforming society. This requires us to re-examine the goal of education and reposition the role of education. We should not stop at how many A's we got on the examination paper, but rely on education to build a strong foundation, complete the mission of educating people, and cultivate the backbone of the Chinese nation from generation to generation.
Starting from the national conditions at that time, Mr. Wang put forward three misunderstandings that people often entered in transforming society: First, he thought that transforming society required most people to do it, and a few teachers were not competent; Second, transforming society is to persuade others to do it, or to do it for others; The third is that literacy reading is education. Once we enter these three kinds of misunderstandings, education will go into a dead end and become water without a source and a tree without a root. In fact, when Mr. Wang put forward three misunderstandings, he also gave corresponding methods. As long as he changes his inherent ideas and puts down his arrogant shelf, "uniting comrades and working together will produce grand and lasting results." In the process of implementation, we should not just sit on the road and talk on paper, but work hard from the aspects of economy and entertainment to read it, so as to be accepted by most people and achieve the purpose of education.
In the process of transforming rural life, training rural teachers is the key. "Teachers get people, then schools live; If the school lives, the society will live. " Teachers are the foundation of running a good education, so the cultivation of teachers is the key to revitalizing rural education. So, what can we do to keep more outstanding talents in rural education? How to combine the training of rural teachers with the transformation of rural life? What should rural education do under the background of "double reduction" era to build a good ecological environment by addition and subtraction? Can yesterday's answer solve today's problem? Facing the classics, how can we turn Mr. Wang's educational thought into action? This is what we need to explore constantly. Because different times and different people, education is always full of challenges, which is our opportunity and our responsibility.
? In order to commemorate the second anniversary of Xiaozhuang School, Teacher Wang wrote an article "This Year" on March 1929. He said, "In order to accomplish the mission of rural education, any opportunities and methods are secondary, and the overriding condition is that comrades are willing to devote themselves wholeheartedly to rural people and children. Real education is an activity from soul to soul. Only what comes from the heart can reach the deep heart. "
It turns out that all kinds of methods in this world can hardly surpass the power of one word-love. Along the direction of the heart, with love, we can finally reach the distance of education.
