This discussion has aroused great repercussions. There are many indignant articles in the newspaper, which are said to have attracted the attention of the relevant departments.
I don't know much about this city. As far as the rural areas I contact are concerned, in fact, really outstanding students do not report to normal schools.
Even excellent students who graduate from normal universities may not be able to become teachers.
It must be admitted that in our society, the best job is to be an official. Although the salary of officials is not higher than that of teachers, it is known that most officials do not rely on wages to eat.
They legally enjoy the best things, and even if they don't take bribes, they can live much better than teachers. No matter who is laid off, officials will not be laid off.
It is often heard that a certain place is in arrears with teachers' wages, but it has never been heard that the secretary or county magistrate is in arrears with wages.
A middle school teacher was appointed as the head of a poor village, but if he was appointed as a middle school teacher, he would probably hang himself. Of course, a truly outstanding person is not necessarily an official.
Faced with this reality, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of teachers. With good textbooks and no good teachers, I'm afraid it won't help. So I think the education reform in China actually involves all aspects.
Whenever an official wants to be a teacher, let alone the problem of education in China, no matter how big the problem is, it will be solved.
In my opinion, at least two-thirds of the time should be spent on Chinese classes in middle schools for students to read. As long as it is not reactionary yellow, students should be allowed to watch whatever they want.
The ancients said that "reading is like writing", which is not necessarily correct, but it certainly makes sense.
If we middle school students can finish reading 100 famous books in six years, the articles written will have another atmosphere. Even if he doesn't write articles all his life, this 100 classic will certainly benefit him all his life.
At present, education funds are generally insufficient, and it is unrealistic for schools to spend a lot of money on books. Why can't Chinese textbooks be divided into Chinese and literature as before the Cultural Revolution?
When I was a child, I dropped out of school at home and repeatedly read the literature textbooks used by my brother, which benefited a lot.
My initial literary interest and literary accomplishment were cultivated by those "literature" textbooks.
In addition, I don't think it is necessary for middle school students to master so much knowledge of grammar and logic, and the Chinese department of the university can learn it.
I feel that if a person can't get a sense of language when he is young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to write beautiful articles all his life. The so-called sense of language can only be obtained from a lot of reading.
As for grammar and logic, you can learn it at the age of 80. It is likely that with years of language practice, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
It is undoubtedly a chore for children to learn the boring logic and grammar, and we can make Chinese teaching interesting.
In fact, most people will never use the grammar of their mother tongue. A person who basically doesn't know grammar can also speak and write correctly in his mother tongue.
Since we advocate applying what we have learned, why spend so much time learning things that are useless to most people? If our Chinese education in middle schools can be reformed in this way, our Chinese department in universities will have one more reason to exist.
The Chinese department of the university trains experts who are proficient in Chinese grammar and logic. They study the development and history of Chinese. After graduation, they can teach China to learn Chinese and foreigners to learn Chinese.
That wouldn't be the case, an article, primary school students are learning, middle school students are learning, and college students are learning.
I think if Chinese is compared to a piano, then some people really need to learn to design and repair, while most people just need to learn to play. Chopin may not be able to repair the piano, Shen Congwen may not be able to write grammar books, and Lv Shuxiang, who has written many grammar books, seems to be unable to write good novels.
Of course, if there is something wrong with the piano, Chopin will definitely know at once; If a word is not fluent, Shen Congwen will immediately feel it and will modify it with a sense of language.
If it is really a good article, Lv Shuxiang will tell its benefits more clearly than ordinary people. There is another problem that can't be said, which makes students have a headache and makes writers laugh and cry. This is our article analysis.
I heard that this trick was learned from the Soviet Union, not invented by ourselves. This way violates the reading psychology of ordinary people, or violates people's aesthetic habits.
In a lower sense, reading is like eating: a good dish is served with good color, smell and health. For most diners, this is the ultimate goal.
If you don't let him go after eating, you have to tell him what raw materials this dish is made of, how to make it, and what kind of nutritional value it contains, which is likely to make him spit out what he has eaten.
Of course, the trainees of the chef's training class and nutrition experts are another matter.
I think in daily life, most people regard reading as a kind of leisure. In order to have fun in reading, no one will apply what they have learned to their daily reading activities.
In fact, this method of analyzing articles can't improve the writing level. So, basically, what our children learn in middle school Chinese class is useless.
If it is useful, it will be used in the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, it will be abolished. It's really not cost-effective to spend so much time and energy learning something once.
I am not absolutely opposed to the analysis of works. I am opposed to the indiscriminate political analysis and class analysis of all works.
For example, Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, in my opinion, is a slightly morbid but beautiful leisure article. As long as you can feel such an emotional atmosphere, reading such an article is enough.
If we have to read Zhu Ziqing's patriotic passion and hatred for the enemy from this article, it is a bit far-fetched. If Zhu Ziqing had a spirit in the sky, would he sneer on the cloud?
Of course, it is not impossible for you to analyze like this, but if you insist on taking your point of view as the standard and force students to accept it, you will be judged as wrong if you don't accept it, which is a bit overbearing.
Mathematics can have standard answers, physics can have standard answers, how can there be standard answers to many questions in Chinese?
Poetry is meaningless, and good prose and novels can't have only one explanation. "A Dream of Red Mansions" is read by Mao Zedong in Mao Zedong and Hu Shizhi in Hu Shizhi.
It seems that Hu Shizhi's experience in reading A Dream of Red Mansions cannot be denied just because he is a "bourgeois spokesman".
If we can pull Cao Xueqin back from just visiting and let him listen to the analysis of his Dream of Red Mansions by a red scientist, I think he is likely to run away with his ears covered.
Therefore, I think that students should be allowed to make their own and personalized analysis of a work. As long as they can justify themselves, they should be considered right.
Students should even be encouraged to be unconventional and dare to sing against the teacher, which has nothing to do with the writer's creative intention.
The problem of education in China is not a simple technical problem, but a complex social problem.
This set of things is actually the product of social environment. It will not happen overnight, nor can it be reformed in a week. Those things that have been criticized by many people are also being desperately maintained by many people.
But after all, these rebellious voices have let us see a glimmer of light.
