Seeing this report, I was surprised and suddenly a little sad! The two-and-a-half-year-old child is still in infancy, which is the age when he is innocent, cute, naughty, active and babbling. It is also the age when they look at this beautiful world with ignorant eyes, full of infinite imagination and curiosity, and occasionally hide in their mother's arms. However, due to their participation in five excellent classes, heavy study burden and great study pressure often lead them to sweat at night and wake up in the middle of the night.
Social utility, parents' anxiety and short-sightedness in some schools make exam-oriented education deeply rooted in many local primary schools, and junior high schools and senior high schools in some areas have become hot. It seems that they are used to it. Junior high school students are all on holiday, except senior high school students. In fact, they have no holidays, and they are constantly rushing to various cram schools, interest classes and extra-long classes, which is also common. In addition, in order to attend a famous primary school, a famous junior high school and a famous high school, including a famous university, parents will do whatever it takes, students will work hard, teachers will do whatever it takes, and schools will add fuel to the fire. This is even less surprising. Unexpectedly, in order to apply for a well-known kindergarten, a two-and-a-half-year-old baby has been enrolled in five excellent classes.
It is a trivial matter for parents to leave their baby at the starting line. So well-intentioned, so forced to learn, so rushed to run, so that the baby of his age was overwhelmed, tortured, devastated, with a lot of hair loss and baldness. As for children's premature birth and boredom with learning, they stifle their imagination and innovative thinking and quality. It doesn't matter, and whether the children are happy or not. Whether a child can have confidence, courage and strength throughout his life is even less important. The point is whether the child will be killed at the starting line in order to apply for a well-known kindergarten.
This is by no means alarmist! Two years ago, it was reported that Henan 15-year-old children wrote their homework until the early hours of the morning and died in class the next morning. Not long ago, a child aged 10 died at three o'clock in the morning because of overwork. Many children took medicine and committed suicide by jumping off a building, making a fresh flower of life wither prematurely. Many of them become adults.
I remember a well-known education expert with a sense of urgency talked about the intensification of exam-oriented education in a forum, saying that children in China were only four years old when they were "carefree". I didn't expect the society to develop so fast that children before the age of four can't sit back and relax now. In order to enter the ideal kindergarten, they will have exam-oriented training from the baby. No wonder some parents have a countdown to the college entrance examination when their baby is born. From birth, there are still 6574 days from the college entrance examination!
The English poet philip larkin once said, "They hurt you, your parents. Although they didn't mean to, they did hurt you. "
In this competition between "heroes only by scores" and social class differentiation and solidification, in order to win at the starting line and gain the upward passage of social class, parents in China are caught in a huge whirlpool of collective anxiety, and the bottom line is constantly being broken by parents who are willing or forced to "steal", "steal" and "force".
To change this situation, I think that in addition to the national level, on the one hand, we should change the way of education evaluation, on the basis of the current pilot, steadily and orderly promote the reform of the college entrance examination system, and fully implement the new college entrance examination system in 2020. On the other hand, it is necessary to change the incentive system of talent training, use and evaluation, and get rid of the idea of "only academic qualifications, only professional titles and only identity", thus forming the uniqueness of "360 lines, each doing its own thing" in the new period and the new normal.
To change education, we must first change our parents. If you grow up to be a child, you must first grow up to be a parent. It is good for parents to attach importance to children's education, but children's physical and mental development is regular, and the development of education is also gradual. Early education is not as early as possible, and ignoring the basic laws can only be counterproductive; The more cramming classes, the better. It takes up the time of children's physical and mental development for no reason, and finally can only accept that children have lost their rights as children.
Children are not parents' faces, nor their report cards, nor are they embellishments and tools for parents to shine. Nothing is more important than the love of parents, nothing is more important than the companionship of parents to their children, nothing is more important than the healthy growth of children, and nothing is more important than the influence of parents on their physical and mental development.
In fact, whether it is the direct influence of parents on their children or the support of parents' education for school education, the starting line is not tutoring, rushing, hugging and attending prestigious kindergartens, but the love and companionship of parents for their children, their cognition and rationality of education. Parents are the really best starting line for children.
