I think the essence of education is to cultivate a child who is physically and mentally healthy, does not harm society, has something he wants to do and works hard for it. Utilitarianism in education will make children care about gains and losses, which will easily lead to physical and mental imbalance and deterioration of interpersonal relationships. The essence of education is to improve the morality, quality and culture of all the people, thus developing economy and politics. If education is too utilitarian, people will forget the essence of education and only pay attention to economic benefits, and society will become a mess. I think the essence of education is to teach people fish, that is, to teach them methods and knowledge, and the utilitarian nature of education will make this goal not simple, so that students can not get what they want.

The utilitarian tendency of education is short-sighted and single. It did not promote the all-round development of students, alienated the educational process, gave birth to overload education and caused educational anxiety. The utilitarian tendency of education is a realistic problem formed in the historical process, a reflection of social utilitarianism in the field of education, and an inevitable pain in the current social development stage. The importance of education is self-evident. Whether based on human status or social status, education is the most important thing in the world. As far as education is concerned, it is a glorious cause to mold people's thoughts, cultivate people's temperament, impart people's knowledge and wisdom, and realize people's virtue.

Once children regard reading as a coping task, they will never attach importance to it. He can't understand the characters and the profound connotation in the book. He can only treat it as a math problem, and when it is finished, it becomes a thing. The children cultivated under this reading channel must not be rich in cultural literacy. They will not take the initiative to explore other interesting books, but will only take the tasks assigned by teachers and parents as a means to expand themselves. Reading this kind of books mainly depends on children's consciousness. If children are very interested in a certain kind of books, they will take the initiative to spend time and energy reading them without being reminded by their parents and teachers.

In this case, the effect of reading will get worse and worse, and children can't improve their memory. In the end, their self-confidence will be hit, and then they will not achieve the real reading effect, which will also lead to children's growing resentment. In fact, when we educate our children, how can we prevent them from being utilitarian? First of all, from the big environment, because the environment itself is very utilitarian, so children come into contact with many such environments, and there will be such a subtle physique in the future, so to avoid this physique as much as possible, we must assimilate utilitarian heart. At the same time, we should also pay attention to ourselves and their utilitarianism. Therefore, in such a problem, we must first stipulate our original intention and correctly guide our children to work in the right direction.
