The film is adapted from a true story.
The film is about a school scum who didn't go to college after the college entrance examination. In order to make his parents happy, he invented the diploma mill and passed the exam himself. In order to make this diploma workshop more credible, I also made a school website, rented a venue and a principal. I thought it would be over to put on a play to convince my parents that I had gone to college. Unexpectedly, due to mistakes, many failed students applied on the school website, and all received the admission notice from the diploma workshop and reported to the school one after another. Moreover, these losers are rich and have no shortage of tuition fees. They are very generous in paying the tuition fee of $20,000 per year for the Master of love rat.
Faced with such a situation, the man's friend asked him to tell the truth and let everyone go back and forth. Standing on the platform, the man was about to tell the truth. One admitted student must raise his hand and say that he never made his parents happy before he was admitted to this university. The man learned that all of you here are young people who have fallen behind on the list. They were not accepted by the school and had to come here. Faced with such a student in the same situation as himself, he couldn't tell the truth.
This person can only be forced to rebel and try to keep this diploma workshop running. If they are not short of money, all these students must pay tuition. He is only worried about how to manage the school. So I went to a regular university with a long history next door to observe and study: how to run a university?
He was surprised to find that these favored children were not eager for knowledge after entering the university. Some people are sleepy in class, and some people are in a hurry to study in class, for fear that they will not get straight A's. Is this the way of running a traditional university? A teacher talks a lot in class, and the students below are only concerned about whether they can pass such courses with straight A grades, get diplomas and find good jobs.
He realized that if he didn't want to learn knowledge, he couldn't keep anything in his brain. Therefore, the idea of running his diploma workshop is that everyone writes the courses they want to learn or can teach others on the whiteboard. Teach each other what they want to learn, like interest groups. Interest is the best teacher. You don't need an expert in this field to teach you. Find your own interests and you will learn. Because you are willing to pay time for it. It's your choice. Nobody forced you.
In the regular university next door, love rat's good friend Xiao Pang did a lot of embarrassing things to join the Brotherhood, because joining the Brotherhood is a tradition. Probably every fraternity member has experienced this humiliation, so newcomers must also experience this "tradition." This is similar to the "wine table culture" in China. How can young people not experience what I experienced when I was young? To put it bluntly, it is another form of bullying. In the name of "tradition", it is fair to bully new people. This is the tradition of the fraternity. This tradition of fraternity and sorority is reflected in many American movies. For example, another founder of social network facebook has done many strange things to join the Brotherhood.
The last part is that the male owner decided to take the formal school-building process and formally run the school. Holding a hearing is a very typical American ending. The protagonist won the applause of the audience with his wonderful speech and successfully achieved his goal. At the end of the film, the hearing agreed to give the diploma factory a one-year observation period. Douban film review is mainly because the film is too ideal and has an American-style happy ending, so Douban's score is not high.
What I care about is the question raised at the hearing about running a university. The questions raised by the chairman of the hearing are: whether there are corresponding teaching facilities, including libraries and medical centers, whether there are enough teachers, and whether the curriculum arrangement is scientific. If you only need these three things, it seems not difficult to run a university.
China's enrollment expansion stems from 1999, which was issued by the Ministry of Education to revitalize education for 2 1 century. The document proposes that by 20 10, the gross enrollment rate of higher education will reach 15% of the school-age youth. The annual growth rate of the number of university graduates in China is as follows. In particular, the cost of running a school in liberal arts is lower. As long as the classrooms, teachers and playgrounds are ready, you can start enrolling students. Is college education just to go to a bigger classroom after graduating from high school? Is this a university?
The man at the end of the film said to the effect that we will never stop learning, so we will never stop growing. Because we will never stop learning and never stop growing. )
This is the meaning of education. Let's form the habit of learning, be brave in dealing with this unpredictable world, and never stop learning to improve our ability. Not for parents to study, not for a diploma, but to understand the world from the heart.
