Is this education? This is actually a continuous blow to children. Education is not simple teaching, and of course teaching is not like this. Is it possible for a child to learn well when he is crying for a long time, in a bad mental state, being teased and completely blind? Can this arouse her interest in future study? This so-called "education" invisibly hurts children's self-esteem and self-confidence, making children feel that learning is linked to crying, laughing and scolding from an early age, and it is only a matter of time before they lose interest in learning.
In the WeChat group, I accidentally saw a passage from Yuwa's mother, "In the words of Rousseau, the French enlightenment thinker, the best education is education that does nothing. Children can't see the education happening, but it does affect their hearts and help them develop their potential. This is the best education in the world. "
I am deeply convinced, but it is accurate to adjust "the best education is the education of inaction" to "the best education is the sound of great voices and the elephant is invisible".
Because both good education and bad education are intangible, they may happen when teachers and parents do nothing. Therefore, the best music has no sound, and the best image has no image, which is a perfect description of a good education.
Let's look at a classic "inaction" good education case.
When Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator in China, was the principal, it was very dangerous to see a boy throwing bricks at another boy. He stopped him and told him to come to the principal's office at three in the afternoon.
Before three o'clock, the boy waited at the gate of the headmaster's office. President Tao returned to the office on time and found the boy waiting there. He smiled and took out a candy and said, "This candy is for you, because you keep your word and arrive early and not be late."
The child accepted the candy strangely, but he knew nothing.
Then the headmaster took out another candy and said, "This is for you, too. I told you to stop in the morning, and you stopped at once, which shows that you respect the headmaster very much. Respect for others is the most important quality. "
The boy was moved by the second candy.
Mr. Tao added: "As far as I know, you threw bricks at your classmates because they bullied girls, which shows that you have a sense of justice. I'll give you another one. "
The boy was impressed by the third candy.
The boy said, "Principal, I was wrong. If my classmates are wrong again, I can't take this approach. "
Mr. Tao happily took out another candy: "It's really hard for you to admit your mistake. I have to reward you with another one." My candy came out and our conversation was over. Go home! "
The story is over, but it is easy to infer that the boy will be influenced by the education of these four sweets for life. The first candy: teach him to be punctual. The second candy: teach him respect. The third candy: educate him to think. The fourth candy: educate him about right and wrong. This is a mode of appreciation education and science education.
When I first read this article. I was shocked. This kind of good education is like master Chi's boxing, and his vigorous skill is hidden in the invisible; Like a drizzle falling on the seedlings, it moistens things silently.
China has a saying that "faithfulness endures forever, and poems and books are written for generations", which contains the educational concept and shows the intangible nature of a good education.
A good education is intangible. Is bad education "invisible" too? I think so, too. Let's look at another example of "invisibility" in education.
An American scholar, A. E. Winship, made a study at 1900, compared two families and wrote Jukes-Edwards. He traced the development of two families in the past 200 years. A family starts with Jukes (Joekes). Another family started with Edwards. Two contemporary families, one ancestor is virtuous Edwards, and the other ancestor is immoral Jocks.
The statistical results of the two families after 200 years are as follows:
(1) Edwards family:
Population: 1394, of which:
3 members; 1 vice president; 100 university professor; 14 university president; 70 lawyers; 30 judges; 60 doctors; 60 writers; 300 priests and theologians.
(2) Mark Jocks family:
Population: 903, including:
3 10 rogue; 440 people suffer from sexually transmitted diseases; 130 people have been imprisoned for more than 13 years; 7 murderers; 100 drinkers; 60 thieves; 190 prostitute; 20 businessmen, of whom 10 learned to do business in prison.
This example, I think, is enough to illustrate the "invisible" role of education. One is an "invisible" poetry book, and the other is an "invisible" fish begins to stink at the head. The family demonstration is there, and parents can profoundly influence the next generation by doing nothing.
Back to the funny video, the photographer seems to be teaching children math, but the ghost of bad education has "invisibly" infringed on children, and the adverse effects on children are far more than children learning a few numbers, but adults don't know it. But at the same time, video also "invisibly" educated us, and we should pay more attention to improving our ability and know how to distinguish right from wrong.
I hope we can see more "intangible" good education, just as good music quietly cultivates our sentiments, just as good images bring us unconscious pleasure.
I hope parents can see the "invisible" face of bad education at a glance and avoid our children from being hurt by it.
