Frankly speaking, I have only four words about China's current education-"don't believe". I don't believe in education in China today. Why? Because in my opinion, all our views on education in China today may have originated from a mistake. Today, we haven't seriously thought about what education is. We are constantly making concessions, making excuses for ourselves and excusing our children.
China is facing many problems that have never been faced in human history.
Today, we are going to talk about happy education and our childhood is very happy. However, were we happy in childhood? At least I'm not happy at all Memories are generally illusory and happy, "scars forget to hurt." Who here didn't spell it all the way through the exam? We had so much homework when we were children. When we were young, we still didn't have enough to eat, and sometimes we were beaten twice by our teachers.
Why is education happy? I can't figure out how education must be happy. It goes without saying that education is bound to be painful. I don't understand why we should give in to our children who are destined to inherit us.
Now, most of our education for children is encouragement. So, what about punishment? Can education be without disciplinary measures? Education can be completed by encouragement alone? I don't believe it either. Just now, the headmaster of Zhengzhou Foreign Language School said that parents should not read their children's diaries under any circumstances. I'm afraid I don't agree with you. Why not show it? My parents read my diary since they were young, and they don't think I'm stupid.
I study in Europe, and we often talk about how good education in Europe is. Ok, let's see how strict the rules of good schools in Britain are. The British Parliament passed a law to the effect that "teachers are allowed to take necessary measures, including physical contact, to force undisciplined students to observe discipline after being advised to fail."
But the main idea of our education is to constantly accommodate children and give them more fun and time to play. How can there be such an education under the sun?
Someone asked me, "Mr. Qian, you have been talking about Chinese studies, Saint Amethyst and Disciples' Rules in recent years. What do you think is the biggest difficulty in promoting Saint Amethyst and Disciple Rules? " My general statement is that I hope the relevant departments will vigorously promote it and enter the school. In fact, this is not the biggest difficulty. The biggest difficulty is that 90% of these children will suffer in society if they are trained according to the Disciples' Rules and the Three Character Classics and the standards of the prestigious schools participating in today's forum. If children who are loyal, trustworthy, filial and obedient are put into society, they are likely to suffer! This shows that there are great problems in our society. Who can deny it? This is the most fundamental reason why we want to talk about traditional excellent culture.
I am teaching myself and have contact with students. I want to tell you that we should have an extreme sense of anxiety about China's education and consider it on the basis of approaching despair.
My son is in the middle school affiliated to East China Normal University, which is my alma mater and a famous school in Shanghai. Of course it's good. But the social environment is different from our time. So I think, I am in favor of being really strict with children. After all, children are not adults. Children must also be disciplined and punished. They must know that education is not only happiness, but also learning is not only happiness. When you realize that learning is fun, this student is likely to become President Yu in the future. If a person can feel happy in his study, he may become a master. Most people don't. Most people have to learn, not for a certain purpose.
We should tell our children that there is a price to pay for mistakes. If the atmosphere of parents accommodating their children is formed in the whole society, the future children will be terrible and our future will be terrible. The children thus educated will not be able to bear the burden of China's future development. China's 30-year development has created a miracle of material wealth and social development. Who did this?
In the history of China, the elite really caused by unconsciousness is the "Lao San". This group of people completed junior high school education before the Cultural Revolution. The level of junior high school education before the Cultural Revolution is probably not lower than that of ordinary undergraduate education today. Because of historical reasons, these people have been scattered to all corners of society. 1978, everything is back to the original point. These people are the elite of China people, the real elite that has never appeared in the history of China. They know knowledge, endure grievances and know how to take responsibility. Now, these people are retiring. Now, children go further and society gives way; The child goes further and the teacher gives way; Children go further and parents give way. How does such education work? What's more, the current education is facing a huge conflict, and it is impossible to think according to the general pedagogy theory.
We all say that it is right to encourage children to be confident, praise him and encourage him to be confident, but we can't go too far. This kind of education for children, in the society, the contrast he faces is enough to destroy him. We should tell our children that this society is cruel and we should be prepared to suffer a lot of grievances.
If the headmaster punishes my child who really made a mistake, or even hits him a few times, I will thank the teacher. I believe that most teachers have great love. I hope the teacher has a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.
I just hope my children are in good health and mental health now. I don't care if my children pass the exams in domestic universities. I just hope that he will be healthy physically and mentally and live a good life.
When I was a child, my life was hard, my society was underdeveloped and my economy was underdeveloped, but my parents were still responsible for us. I think I envy my parents now. They dare to scold and hit the children, but we still love them. Today's children can't beat or scold, even if it's a look, maybe they can kill their elders tomorrow.
The last line of defense of our society is education. We should not easily yield to society, nor to children, nor to parents. Our society should give principals and teachers greater rights, higher honors and better treatment, but it should also give them greater responsibilities.
This is my truth. If there is anything wrong, please treat me as a student first, then as a parent, and finally as a junior teacher to criticize education. There is not a lie in what I just said, it's all true. Of course, Mr. Ji Xianlin taught me "Don't tell all lies, don't tell all the truth."
