At first glance, people will find that both the five senses and the child's body will feel awkward. This is because the painter distorted the facial features of Down syndrome. The main symptoms of Down syndrome are children's mental retardation, special face, slow development, short stature, backward bone age, short limbs and other symptoms. Simply put, it is mentally retarded children in our daily life. Such children can't live independently, and getting sick will affect the safety of people around them. It is a pathological phenomenon, but the painter regards this feature as an illustration of the teaching material, which is a deformed aesthetic.
In addition to face problems, there are all kinds of posture problems, such as the little girl leaking underwear while playing games, and the little boy putting his hand on the little girl's chest. These are all disrespectful behaviors to women. It is a distortion of educational problems to put it in children's educational books as a reference.
The second is the fundamental education of patriotism.
China is a country that advocates etiquette and morality, so we should take care of the country from dolls. This hot search not only discriminates and distorts gender, but also satirizes patriotism. Tang's children wear clothes with American flag patterns, which the author can argue are patterns. But hanging the five-star red flag upside down is absolutely unforgivable. This is enough to show that the illustrator is an anti-patriot.
Third, the internal network of educational institutions
Compare the normal illustrations in English textbooks. The style of painting in mathematics textbooks is simply two extremes. But the studio that provides illustrations is the same as the approval. This illustrates the most primitive problem, that is, there is a certain network of relationships within educational institutions. There are two possibilities. The first is that the approver is completely unaware of this situation, and the second is completely informed, but agrees to this practice. Either way, I hope those in favor will get the punishment they deserve.
Now the Education Bureau says that the textbooks and illustrations in the People's Education Edition have been rectified. I hope this kind of thing will never happen again, let alone in the education of children.
