Recently, a news about a 10-year-old boy running away from home has attracted attention again. This boy named Xiaoming was enrolled in a number of Xi classes for him by his parents, including Chinese, mathematics, English, etc., as well as some skill subjects. In the end, Xiao Ming chose to run away from home, hoping to escape reality in this way. His parents and relatives were anxious when they learned that he had run away from home and mobilized everyone to find his whereabouts. After some searching, I finally found him in a park. After understanding, the reason why Xiao Ming ran away from home was because he felt too much pressure to study Xi and couldn't bear it. He hoped to escape reality in this way, but was eventually found.
This incident has aroused widespread concern. The following issues are reflected:
1.In order to make their children's grades better, parents have enrolled in multiple training courses. Parental anxiety is somewhat pathological in academics.
2.In the environment of too involution, the current topic is getting deeper and deeper, and the environment forces parents to roll up.
3.Our primary school education has now also become meritocratic, and many primary school homework is written until 10 p.m. These ineffective assignments lock up the student's nature. All aspects of the real cultivation of qualities, such as manual ability, independent ability, are not cultivated.
4.What primary schools should really cultivate is students' hands-on ability, cooking ability, and some basic life knowledge, such as things need to be organized, but these are basically not taught by us.
Let's compare the content of education in Japan:
In addition to the regular basic subjects such as mathematics, Chinese and science, it also integrates diversified courses such as family education, moral education, and handicrafts.
For example, elementary school students in Japan learn Xi a variety of life-related skills during their time in school, such as basic cooking skills, sewing clothes, and even simple agricultural practices such as growing vegetables. These seemingly simple skills are actually designed to develop students' self-care skills and enhance their ability to solve practical problems.
This educational philosophy not only allows students to acquire knowledge in school, but also allows them to develop autonomy, cooperation and practical skills in practice, which lays a solid foundation for their future life and career.
We see that our country places more emphasis on theory than on independence and skills. Students don't know the knowledge of life and can't solve life problems.
