The information age facilitates people to acquire knowledge, but also produces a large number of information misunderstandings. Many educational ideas that sound great at first glance are exaggerated, but they are derailed from reality. However, many people are still fascinated by it.

It is true that smart parents have long known how to "teach students in accordance with their aptitude", formulate appropriate educational methods for their children, cultivate their interests, increase their knowledge and experience, and make their children play without too much pressure.

Who doesn't want their children to grow up happily, no longer bear the pressure of further studies, no longer stay up all night doing homework, and the future is still very bright? It is this idea that "happy education" from the west has been warmly welcomed by parents.

However, it has now become an "educational scam", an extreme educational concept of many advocates, and even a "poison", which has destroyed countless children.

Speaking of happy education, we may think of the following words-reducing the burden, letting go, learning is useless, and college students have a boss who graduated from primary school when looking for a job …

Moreover, the advocates of this educational concept will even prove themselves with many well-known cases, which are usually used in other fields, called "success". Just like Bill Gates who founded Microsoft after graduation and Steve Jobs who founded Apple after dropping out of school.

What you may not know, however, is that whether Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, their "first bucket of gold" comes from their own families, which has nothing to do with academic qualifications, but from their backgrounds.

Happy education originated in the west, but in reality, European and American countries divide education into two categories: general education and elite education. The source of happy education comes from elite education.

The western talent training system is strict, and strict selection should be made when enrolling students. Compared with China, the study pressure of college students is not so great, but the teachers and hardware reserves invested in elite education are first-class, which is expensive and difficult for ordinary families to afford.

What distinguishes elite education from ordinary education is "happy education". Teachers have no pressure of supervision and inspection, and students have no pressure of entrance examination. However, I am psychologically paralyzed by "happy education", and I always feel that children can be happy and understand the true meaning of life.

Unfortunately, such an idea is not suitable for us here. People often say that "people who are better than you work harder than you". Many children have good family conditions, but they are still studying hard. Children in a more ordinary family, how can we talk about "easily grasping the true meaning of life"?

We have to admit that for most ordinary families, children's hard work is the most effective and quickest shortcut to change their destiny.

And those successful cases, the so-called starting from scratch after graduating from primary school, are not non-existent, but only as proof of the inadequacy of individual cases.

There is also a widely accepted rule, that is, the "28 rule": 80% of the wealth is gathered in the hands of 20%, and we, the remaining 80%, have to fight for 20% of the wealth.

Parents want their children to succeed in the future, and their thinking and intellectual development are more important than anything else. This is the main reason why children can quickly grasp the essence of things in the future, and it is a real "elite education".

Montessori, a famous children's educator, said: 0-8 years old is the most important period of brain development, and it is also the most important period of logic training in children's life. The experience summarized by the ancients in China, that is, "caring for the elderly at the age of three, caring for the elderly at the age of seven", has scientific basis. Professor Li Meijin said: Before the age of 8, we should pay more attention to cultivating children's logical thinking and help their brains develop.
