? But is early education really good? The sooner you develop your intelligence, can you date? Can early education train children into high-level talents?
Early education has a very clear scientific conclusion: not only useless, but harmful.
? Parents of children in China are facing a competition. This is a stupid game, and smart and rational people should not participate in it.
? Most of the things we are doing now are not necessarily right. The competition of national conditions learning in China occurred long before primary school, and the learning market has covered the age of zero to three. I began to learn English at the age of four, and it seems to be the new standard to be able to do math problems at the age of five. It is said that some primary schools don't teach Chinese Pinyin well, because the school defaults that children should learn it in kindergarten.
? Early education takes away children's happy childhood and parents spend a lot of time and money.
? What we need is objective and rational judgment, and more importantly, we need scientific guidance methods.
If early education is to cultivate children's high-level talents, it should be worthwhile to make children suffer for a long time and let parents spend money. If early education is a necessary condition for cultivating high-level talents,
In fact, a scientific conclusion has been reached about early education.
Scientific understanding has a very clear conclusion about "early education".
In the 1970s, the German government probably considered that the country needed more high-level talents. It once planned to turn all the traditional kindergartens that mainly let children play into early education that mainly taught children to write and do arithmetic. But the Germans made a decision without patting their heads.
The German government funded a large-scale study [1]. The researchers chose 50 kindergartens featuring early education and 50 traditional kindergartens focusing on fun, and tracked and compared all these children.
At the beginning, it was true that the children in kindergarten had a higher learning level, and this advantage was maintained until the children went to primary school. This is completely understandable. After all, all the children in the early education kindergarten have studied in advance. When children first entered primary school, they learned everything the teacher taught them, and they certainly had an advantage psychologically, so they won at the starting line. This is completely in line with the personal feelings of parents in China now.
However, this advantage did not last forever. By the fourth grade of primary school, the children in early education group not only have no learning advantage, but also have significantly lower grades than those in traditional kindergartens.
Early education can really make you win at the starting line, but you really won't be ahead for long.
So the German government cancelled the plan to reform kindergartens. That's why, although the study intensity of good high schools and universities in developed countries is higher than that in China, kindergartens in developed countries don't offer early education like China-that's unscientific and that's not the "international advanced level".
Similar research has been repeated many times, and now the academic community has reached a * * * understanding [2]: the early advantages brought by early education will be washed away within one to three years, and then may be reversed.
Therefore, in terms of improving academic performance, in the best case, early education is useless; Many times, early education is harmful. Early education is to pull out the seedlings and encourage them.
If your child is not admitted to that so-called key primary school because he didn't attend early education, I advise you not to worry. Maybe you should be grateful. Do you dare to find a normal primary school for your children and wait until the fourth grade to compare with them?
But the real harm of early education is much more serious than the academic performance of the fourth grade.
The object of this study in the United States is the children of poor families. The life of the poor in the United States is very difficult, so the crime rate is so high when they grow up.
This study is very dramatic, but it still illustrates the problem: it shows that early education hurts children's social and emotional abilities. Other studies that don't pay attention to the poor are not so striking, but they also come to the same conclusion [3]. What is the principle?
Playing is also learning. In the process of playing, children can explore what things around them are doing and figure out what people around them are thinking. More importantly, playing with other children is a kind of social exercise. Children must learn fairness, respect and social boundaries in practical communication, learn to share, help and friendship, and learn how to get along with others.
So even if your child is a genius, he likes learning naturally, and he can learn calculus at the age of five, please don't keep him from playing. There are too many geniuses who are eccentric.
While normal children are busy socializing, some children are forced to memorize pinyin, words and multiplication tables by rote. They waste their good time on things that they can easily learn in just a few years.
They didn't play enough when they should, and they may never learn how to play again.
David Wilson, an evolutionary biologist, used evolutionary thinking to examine children's growth and put forward a concept called "rigid elasticity" [5]. The process of growth seems flexible, but in fact it is very strict. Every step of children's development needs the correct input of environmental information. Neither early nor late.
Children under 9 months do not need additional audio and video multimedia information. Letting children listen to music and watch TV for a long time will lead to their inability to concentrate when they grow up.
/kloc-Children under 0/8 months can only improve their vocabulary by listening to and interacting with real people. Other methods are useless and harmful.
Children under two years old are only suitable for touching three-dimensional objects-that is, ordinary objects in the real world, such as toys and people. And two-dimensional things, such as books and pictures, will only hinder the development of their perceptual ability.
People's hearing, vision, various perceptual abilities and brain development are all in order. Giving an undue stimulus in advance is likely to make things that should be developed at this time develop badly.
The task of children under six years old is not to honor their parents with amazing academic achievements, but to grow up healthily. Compulsory early education is harming children.
The reason why parents send their children to institutions early is to deprive their children of their childhood and satisfy their vanity. Some of them even went to college before 17 years old. In children's minds, they think that I study to find a good job and earn a lot of money, which is as strong as my parents' utilitarian heart, but I don't have a complete childhood and soul.
What is there to learn from what the early education class teaches? What is there to worry about? As long as the child's brain develops normally, isn't it easy to learn at that time? Isn't it ridiculous that parents with high academic qualifications are scared by kindergarten teachers? Real geniuses are compared with adults, who are proud that their children learn the knowledge of the second grade of primary school two years in advance. That's ignorance.
Children who haven't attended early education, maybe? Save the children ...
