At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I didn't expect another sensational "Tiger Mom News" to break out: Chinese-American professor Chua Meier's work "Battle Hymn of Tiger Mom" highly praised the strict parenting methods of Chinese mothers known as "Tiger Mom". The saying that "Chinese mothers beat American mothers" was noisy for a while. This is almost the second educational "atomic bomb" that the United States has encountered since Shanghai students won the first place in the PISA test at the end of last year. However, "Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother" is just a sad song of Chinese mother and China's education. "Tiger Mom" is known as "Crazy Mom" in China. China's "crazy mothers" pursue harsh education, mostly because of the only child, the "junior high school" policy and fierce competition in choosing schools. They often feel sorry for their children. Educational environment and the educational environment that Chua Meier faces in the United States. However, the "China model" that this tutor summed up rationally and affirmed in a high-profile way is indeed universal. Her way of disciplining two children is very common in China. The "Ten No's" she prescribed for her children include not staying outside at night, not watching TV or playing video games, not getting grades below A, not failing to win the first prize in all subjects except sports and drama, and not practicing piano and violin. It is even forbidden to participate in group entertainment activities at school, to participate in campus performances, to complain about not participating in campus performances, to choose extracurricular activities without authorization, and to practice musical instruments other than piano and violin. Chua Meier concluded that, contrary to American parents, children are fragile and need constant encouragement and praise. Chinese mothers believe that children are born with "inner strength" and can be pressured by reprimanding or even threatening. Three characteristics of Chinese tiger mother's success are: ignoring children's self-esteem, thinking that children must be filial to their parents, and firmly believing that children are not sensible and need parents' guidance. The "tiger mother" education method subverts the basic values and principles of pedagogy in many aspects. Undoubtedly, strict control, intensive training, high pressure and punishment can usually improve children's academic performance, which is no different from military sports and acrobatic training. In China, this kind of exam-oriented training has developed to occupy all available time for children, including sleep and rest time. Playing and reading "leisure books" are not allowed, and critical thinking is totally discouraged. Through repeated training of "sea tactics", the test requirements are clear at a glance. The extreme state of "right as soon as you do it" The serious consequence of this model is to stifle children's interest in learning, imagination and creativity, which leads to students' serious weariness of learning from an early age. A child who lives under pressure and intimidation and has no dreams and inner interest in learning is unlikely to become an outstanding talent with high IQ when he grows up. This is the crux of the so-called "high scores and low abilities" and "Qian Xuesen's question". Retreat. Some "tiger mothers" will say that it is enough for children to have high academic qualifications and good jobs in the future, and they don't expect to become Einstein or Bill Gates. However, there is still a risk in this kind of education: the lack of socialization and personality defects caused by pure pursuit of school. Parents in China often regard their children's participation in extracurricular activities, games and exchanges between classmates as a waste of time. This is a more important growth process than school. Chua Mei-er even boycotted children's participation in campus performances, which was beyond the routine of parents in China. In the competition of single-recruit exams from small to large, children in China regard their peers as competitors, especially among outstanding students. Parents' strict control over their children leads to many students' lack of living ability and abnormal personality. As an adult, the problems are exposed. If the tragedy of Lu Gang, a student studying in the United States, shooting a colleague's teacher is an exception, it is a common phenomenon that some students with high marks lack the ability to stand on their own feet, are not good at expressing themselves, and can't even make friends or fall in love. When we seem to have cultivated a "talent", he has not yet become a qualified "person", and such a "talent" is of little use or even happiness. In this way, the most important educational goal is lost. Whether to cultivate "people" or "talents", whether to pursue superficial "success" or children's lifelong happiness, is not entirely a matter of methods. What supports "Tiger Mother" is an ancient and powerful value, that is, pursuing Excellence and hoping for success. The cry of "Save Children" in the May 4th Movement opened up modern education to discover, protect and liberate children, not as a tool for adults or adult society to achieve their goals. When talking about the value of civic education, Tao Xingzhi particularly emphasized the need to cultivate "people who are human beings" rather than "people who are superior to others". Without this sense of citizenship, there is no "normality" in treating children. In today's society, the commercial confusion of "building excellent students" and "not losing at the starting line" is like thunder, "recorded in 24 hours 1000.
