Where should education go now?
Not long ago, I read an article in China Youth Daily entitled "I want to tell the truth, but I won't disclose my name"-some principals in County No.1 Middle School claimed to be "split personality". The article truthfully tells the original words of some principals in the form of notes: a principal said with a bitter heart, "Our students and teachers are fighting for their father, but the result of such fighting for their father is not talent but a waste of talent." A headmaster said helplessly, "People say that our children have high scores, low energy and no stamina. We all know this, but we have so much energy that we really can't care. " Many principals pointed out: "The constitution before us is the college entrance examination rather than the education law. Where is the college entrance examination, we will go. " The headmaster of a special-grade teacher in Jiangsu said with deep affection: "I am deeply saddened by our education, which is incurable." Yes, what happened to education in China? Where will it go? Why do so many workers in the front line of education wear stars like Dai Yue, work hard and dedicate their youth and blood, but their hearts are always painful? The harder they work, the farther away they are from their educational ideals; Pain knows that there is something wrong with this road, but it can't extricate itself. It can only go with the flow; The painful work is more conscientious than before, but the recognition of students, parents and society is getting worse and worse ... What's the problem? In my humble opinion, this problem lies not only in education itself, but also in many factors such as historical inertia and social reality. From the ancient imperial examination system to the college entrance examination system in new China, this method of selecting and employing people has a history of many years. In the eyes of ordinary people in China, a child can only study hard if he passes the "ten-year cold window" and "snickers in the bushes when he wants to be the first"-that is success! As for family affairs and state affairs, you can ignore what's going on in the world, or wait until you become famous. "Learn to be a man, learn to do things, learn to live together, learn to seek knowledge, and learn to innovate" is just a slogan; Civic ideological and moral education, legal education, patriotism education, etc. That's just seasoning. The concept of "hope your children succeed, hope your women succeed" is deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people in China. Especially under the family planning policy, the "Little Emperors of China" have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of "Jackie Chan", "Becoming a fashion" and "glorifying ancestors". Therefore, "prenatal education", "family education", "various interest groups" or "cram schools" have become fashionable topics for ordinary people in China. Children enter the growth trajectory designed by their parents from the fetal stage, and rush forward under the strict requirements of their parents, for fear of being left behind by others carelessly, which is euphemistically called "their children can't lose at the starting line!" . As for children's nature, innocence and natural laws of education, they are all told to others. No wonder many principals said, "Many of us have split personalities. On the one hand, respond to others, respond to their own students, and develop according to the laws of education. We should strengthen quality education and improve their comprehensive quality ... but we spend money to send our children to good schools, ask tutors and attend various interest classes. " If you don't force your child to study, study and study again, is that ok? I can't! Without a diploma, you will not be able to work in China society in the future, and you will not be able to survive and develop. You see, applying for civil servants requires a bachelor's degree and a bachelor's degree; To apply for a factory job, you must have at least a college degree or above (most of them must have a bachelor degree or above); Even the cleaning staff in the community should have a secondary school or high school education. Also, whether you are a civil servant, a staff member of a public institution or an employee of an enterprise, your promotion and salary increase must be linked to your diploma. It seems that without a diploma, even if you have comprehensive quality, superb technology, strong sense of responsibility and adaptability, it is difficult to have a foothold, let alone "honor your ancestors." Therefore, if we say "we can't gamble tomorrow with our fate", we must keep up with the social trend, go all out together, work hard in this strange circle, and strive to get a more valuable diploma, so that we can have a better job in the future and stand in a favorable position in the fierce social competition. At school, under the command of the college entrance examination and the senior high school entrance examination, some leaders want to become famous overnight, and they require all class teachers to achieve the "four musts"-that is, they should watch the class order in class during morning reading, lunch break, afternoon self-study class and evening self-study class; All teachers are required to "sign in on July 16"-that is, sign in at 7 am and 1 pm before leaving school. In addition, it should also act as a security guard (that is, it should be on duty 24 hours a day); I also want to take part in various competitions and competitions. I don't want to comment on the management system of the school here. I just want to say, "Our teachers, you have really worked hard! Don't be tired! " I have been thinking about how much enthusiasm, innovation, love, patience and responsibility teachers can have under such great social pressure and such a strict school system. Perhaps, the enthusiasm of many educators should have been exhausted, and their ideals have long since vanished, leaving only numbness and blind obedience. Just like a lyric: "How many faces are drifting with the tide, what are they looking for …". Where will China's education go? -I really don't know. In China's classical literature, there is a famous work called "The Strange Situation Seen in Twenty Years". Looking back on our education in the past 20 years, we can use this name to summarize the strange current situation of education in China in these 20 years: primary education, financial burden, the government can't wait to get rid of it! Of course, the leader didn't say that, but I'm afraid I can't guess what's on my mind. A high school education will grind your skull to death, and it doesn't matter if you need it later. Everything in the college entrance examination is unique, and choosing a school will also wear away your affection! University degree, the fee is gold, and the payment will make you come to a bad end! Going to college doesn't mean you can find a job. Finally, let your parents support you! Let's look at quality education. There is nothing to say about improving quality! Reality is another play, is it in the wrong direction or not strong enough! I should have studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, because I have to go to school until the weekend! Homework is like a mountain of books covered with a skull, and the burden decreases more and more! I learned a lot, but I lost all interest. In the long run, the country will not be a country! Alas, alas, China's education, ...............! ! (Note: The above paragraphs must be read in Sichuan dialect to rhyme. Hehe)
