In a video report of gratitude education, we can see that "gratitude education" is like this: a person is on the stage and tells hundreds of students that there is only one country whose mother is the greatest in the world, and that is the mother of Chinese children! They work at home all year round and pay for us all year round. We never understood her. We never thought she was not simple! Finally, our mother was emotional. They can only take it out on their safest person, that is you! If we don't vent, mom can't continue to love us normally and better! Secondly, I don't think gratitude is important. Gratitude naturally requires children to be cultivated from an early age. But why should schools cultivate children's gratitude in this form? Do we have to make money? Teachers should also give children more gratitude education in their daily teaching. In the long run, can children not be grateful? Really don't use this pyramid-selling "gratitude education" to mislead children.
At the same time, what makes me very uneasy is the fallacy of the content. Gratitude is a beautiful emotion. It should be a kind of inner warmth, a natural desire to return after realizing the hardships and efforts of parents. It's not the oppression and injustice of "gratitude education" that the teacher said "you should put up with your mother's nagging"; I'm not afraid that if you don't let your mother vent, her mother will get mental illness and can't love you better. Should not make a hullabaloo about; The slogan "Don't let the people who love you down" makes children dare not question, and can only realize their parents' expectations of heavy kidnapping ... These have done great harm to children's self-evaluation, security and independent thinking ability.
I believe that there is a very extreme and rational propaganda for "gratitude". After all, we just heard a video and some photos through the media. But the question is, how controllable is the quality of education that advocates absolute language and emotional atmosphere? In fact, the attitude of the media towards "gratitude education" is very one-sided, and it is basically a voice of doubt. However, why do so many schools welcome such education into the campus? Some students not only listen, but also ask all parents to listen and accept the children's collective kowtow. I think one of the reasons for this phenomenon is that many schools find that when children reach a certain age, they will go against the requirements of their parents' schools and even have conflicts with their parents and do not study hard. Schools may think that this is the result of children not knowing how to thank their parents and teachers. To evaluate whether an educational idea is good or not, I think the most basic criterion is to let educators pursue the truth, become themselves or control a person.
