It is the wish of many parents to let their children get high marks, even full marks, so they try their best to create various conditions and make their children get 100. But is it really that important to get 100? Is the child's growth tied to 100? Of course not.
Mr. Chen Shengshen, an international master of mathematics and a famous educator, wrote an inscription for the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China: Don't take the exam 100. This makes many parents very puzzled: who doesn't want their children to get 100? Mr. Zhu Qingshi, then president of China University of Science and Technology, fully understood the meaning of "100 don't take the exam". He pointed out: "Students in juvenile classes should get 70 to 80 points for learning and mastering the essence. Don't waste time on details to get 100. Students with original ecology can generally get a score of 70 or 80. If they want to get 65,438+000 points, they must work hard several times and train very skillfully without making mistakes. In order to compete for the score of 100, you need to waste a lot of time and resources, which is equivalent to applying 10 times of chemical fertilizer to the land. Finally, the creativity of students was obliterated. " This has to cause us to think deeply.
China Youth Daily once reported the symposium on "Ideal University" held by Mr. Liu Daoyu, former president of Wuhan University. Mr. Liu Daoyu takes it as his duty to train outstanding talents. In his view, the over-exploitation of knowledge and ability will inhibit people's ability and development. It takes too much energy for students to stay first, and the champion means nothing.
Let me tell you another real example:
Steven Chu, the American energy secretary and Nobel Prize winner in physics, has been hovering around the tenth place at school, while his brother Zhu is always at the top of his class. After joining the work, when Chu Diwen became a professor, his brother was an associate professor, and when he won the Nobel Prize in Physics, his brother became a full professor.
Wu Zhou, a teacher of Hangtianchang Primary School, called this phenomenon "the tenth phenomenon": after the top students in primary schools are promoted to junior high schools, senior high schools, universities and even jobs, a considerable number of them will "fade out" from the ranks of outstanding students, while many students whose grades are around the tenth actually do very well in their future study and work.
Einstein once pointed out: "When a person forgets everything he received at school, the rest is education". And who needs to do such "education"? Those who need our parents, do it at home.
In fact, for children, high scores are always secondary, and growth is the main thing. Educators, including parents, should teach children what they need for all-round development, such as mature mind, sound character and noble moral feelings, strong psychological endurance, optimistic and healthy attitude towards life, tireless enthusiasm for learning, good habits of benefiting for life, ability foundation from excellent to excellent, and great wisdom in interpersonal communication. These are more cultivated by parents' words and deeds at home.
What parents need to recognize is that children's growth is more important than their grades.
I sincerely hope that parents can re-examine their family education and think about what kind of education should be given to their children, so that their children can really grow up healthily and lay the foundation for his lifelong happiness.
