Life is no different. We should pay tribute to this light of energy. Children are smarter than adults. Without prejudice, prejudice and impurities, how can we despise it? How many educators nowadays can really understand and practice this truth?
There is a very core spirit in China culture, that is, a sentence in the Book of Changes called "Qi Yi Bottom-up", which means that the energy of social change is bottom-up, and everything grows, starting from the earth and ending in the earth. Today, almost everyone sees that there are great problems in our education, but who will regard kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers as truly influential people?
Where is the creativity?
"Master Greengar is a dull old man with a chubby body. Besides the mage, he likes to give red. He has a short temper and is good at upholding justice. Everything should be distributed equally to everyone. " This is how Waldorf education teaches these abstract symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division into vivid stories. Mystery is not just the story itself, but the corresponding way to add emotion. Green corresponds to a child with water-phase personality, and he will identify with this green elf. Children with fire character think that the red wizard is very kind and very similar to himself. It's natural and comfortable to enter like this. For another example, give each child 10 walnuts and let them combine at will. Soon they will find that 10 = 5+5, 10 = 3+7, 10 = 4+ 1+5 have too many possibilities.
Children's natural spiritual things will not be destroyed. Imagination, inspiration and intuition are the most precious qualities of children. Education is to help them adjust their mentality, change their temperament and teach their children an understanding of life. In life, he/she will also know how to try in different ways.
In school, children are divided into smart and stupid, top students and poor students, fast and slow classes, and those admitted to famous universities are arrogant and losers, but mentally retarded. The school has become a processing factory for talented people with knowledge and skills, with unified standards and unlimited replication. It's not sad at all. What is it?
Spiritual education helps children wake up and join the WTO.
Education in this era not only suppresses students' feelings of "goodness" and "beauty", but also tirelessly trains their minds, thinking and logic. When a student walks out of school, it is hard to say that he/she is a truly mature person. We can only say that the mainstream education in the material age has cultivated students' seemingly mature minds, but also created their rough and indifferent hearts. Influenced by the industrialization of education, it is easy for us to accept the view that the success of a school depends on how many "talents" it has trained, including several ministers and CEOs of multinational groups. We often overlook which teachers are in charge of this school. The school is not a factory, but a Dojo. If we compare today's universities, then look at Peking University in Cai Yuanpei's time and National Southwest Associated University in difficult times, we can have a practical understanding of this. What children need is a teacher who has a deep understanding of the concept of life.
As parents and teachers, it is normal to expect children to receive a better school education. The question is, what is the "better" school education in our mind? As educators (parents and teachers), it is difficult for children to get spiritual guidance from you if they don't take the road of seeking truth. Maybe you can provide him/her with knowledge and material support, but unfortunately, his/her mind has not been nourished from you.
Rudolf steiner, an Austrian educator, said: "Modern materials science is a science of breaking the whole into parts, which can only give people partial truth. People's hearts are complex and diverse. We can't explain people with logical concepts in material science, but we can only understand them through artistic methods and explore them from spiritual science. The purpose of education is not to instill knowledge in children, but to awaken some of their abilities from the soul and heart, and finally become a free man who can think and practice in an independent spirit!
