I have to say that Professor Zheng Qiang's comments are quite sharp. Although it is stipulated that primary schools are strictly prohibited in kindergartens, young connecting classes emerge in an endless stream, and some kindergartens are also "slow". This phenomenon actually reflects parents' anxiety about their children's education. My feeling as a mother is that I know this is wrong, but I have no choice but to squeeze into this educational madness.
All the other children ran away, and your child didn't run, that is to lose at the starting line! It is even more difficult for primary schools to keep up with junior high schools. If junior high school can't be admitted to a key high school, the door of a famous university will almost be closed, and the future path of children may be even more difficult! Believe me, this kind of voice can represent most people! But the truth is such a truth, but parents ignore that it is unscientific to do so!
Professor Zheng Qiang's remarks are not based on anger, but on scientific basis. American child psychologists have done an experimental study and found that children who have never attended kindergarten and children who have attended kindergarten draw pictures at the same time, and the difference between the pictures drawn is particularly large. The conclusion is that children's imagination and creativity will be damaged when they are exposed to early education.
Children who are educated in advance may do well in the first grade, and the harm will break out in the second grade. Because children always study in advance, they may not pay attention to the class because they have already studied in class. Over time, they lack interest in learning and desire to explore, and their academic performance will plummet. In fact, the so-called rush to run is actually a stumbling block to the future of children!
Why can't we promote education? Before the age of 6, the child's bone development is not perfect. If you let them write, it is difficult for them to write beautiful words, but they are psychologically depressed. Before children's abstract thinking and logical thinking are developed, letting children do arithmetic problems will only make children hate mathematics more and more. Therefore, many countries prohibit kindergartens from becoming primary schools, because this goes against the original intention of the establishment of kindergartens.
The first kindergarten in the world was built in Brandenburg, Germany, 180 years ago. The founder of this kindergarten is called Fropel. He put forward the concept of preschool education: preschool education that conforms to the law of children's physical and mental development, takes "games" as the main development mode, and aims at cultivating children's extensive interests, perfecting their personality and basic living ability.
It can be seen that at the age of 3-6, the so-called preschool education should not be to learn knowledge, but to give children a sound personality and foundation. This coincides with the idea of Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University. He said that it is not academic performance but sound personality cultivation that determines a child's life! A child is optimistic, confident and determined, and will walk more smoothly on the road of study, life and work in the future.
Cai Yuanpei also mentioned eight keys to shaping a sound personality: optimistic attitude, being a grateful person, daring to dream, being able to face setbacks, having the ability of self-protection, good interpersonal skills, rational use of money, and being able to know yourself correctly. Therefore, parents should put down their arithmetic problems and Chinese character cards and pay more attention to their children's personality education!
