1. Most families in China think that the college entrance examination is the first choice for their children's growth.
We have been working hard to implement quality education. For many years, most places still remain in the form, and some even omit the form. Learning success is the most formal way for many families to send their children to school subconsciously. Therefore, the present exam-oriented education in China still has great limitations, and the concept has not been fundamentally changed. In the TV series, both Ji Shengli, Ji's father, Fang Yifan's mother, a senior white-collar boy, and Joe's mother and an excellent high school teacher regard college as the best way out for their children, and are anxious and busy for it.
2. Uneven distribution of educational resources.
This imbalance includes many aspects: the geographical imbalance is large, and the first-tier cities are better than other regions; The imbalance in different places in the same area, key middle schools are better than other middle schools; Urban areas are better than rural areas and remote mountainous areas. This problem has always existed and has not been solved, and it has a growing trend, which has led to the narrowing of the promotion path for many poor students. Take Little Happy Feng Chun Middle School as an example. As a key school in the district, in order to let children occupy more resources, they moved to rent a house near the school, which led to soaring housing prices and rents in the school district. Many parents gave up their jobs to protect their children's study and life in the third year of high school and devoted themselves to taking care of their children.
Parents' selfish ideas are too serious, ignoring their children's hobbies.
As the saying goes? Interest is the best teacher? Learning without hobbies is boring, lack of motivation, and will often become mediocre in the end. This is also a cliche. Parents' choice and children's choice have their rationality. We can't go from one extreme to the other. Parents are experienced, and the plans planned for their children are targeted and operable, but children often don't understand, and the resulting contradictions may be small or infinite. In Xiao Huanxi's view, Joe's mother is so strong that Eiko must go to Tsinghua or Peking University, and Eiko's ideal major is aerospace, because the relationship between them has been very tense. Ji's ideal is to be a professional racing driver like Han Han, and everyone doesn't care much about their study. His parents have made great efforts to this end, but the results have been minimal.
A Little Joy, like a mirror, shows the typical contradiction of parent-child relationship in China's family, and also brings us some thoughts on how to reconcile with the pain brought by the family. I wonder which family you like? I'm glad to be here today to answer your questions. I hope my answer is helpful to you, and you are welcome to leave a message to discuss the problem with me.
