In the socio-educational system, school teachers are regarded as professional educators who are equipped with professional knowledge and teaching skills. However, parents play a vital role in homeschooling. Compared with school teachers, the education provided by parents permeates daily life and covers a wider range of outlooks, values and behaviours. Family education is not only about instilling knowledge, but also about cultivating children's ability to think independently and solve problems, as well as shaping their personality and character. Parents play a key role in this process, and their words and deeds, care and love are indispensable factors in the development of children.
However, a Tsinghua University student said in a recent interview: "Don't take your parents too seriously, because they basically don't understand anything." This remark has attracted widespread attention. This scholar is from Rixin College of Tsinghua University and is a student from a poor family. His own experience may have caused him to question his parents' ability to educate. As a poor student, he realized that his parents did not give him enough educational resources because his parents were taxi drivers and sanitation workers, respectively, and were not familiar with learning. This made him understand that if he wanted to change his fate, he still had to rely on his own efforts. Under his unique plan, he chose liberal arts and sciences and minored in computer science, which created an irreproducible competitive advantage for him.
If students from poor backgrounds want to succeed, they often need more independent efforts and self-development. Compared with students with better family conditions, students from poor families may need to work harder to understand various information and choose a development direction that suits them. They can't rely on the advice given by their parents, but need to find more opportunities and broaden their horizons through their own efforts. By minoring in computer science, this Tsinghua scholar understands computers from a humanistic perspective and shows people his unique development direction. This kind of initiative and thoughtfulness about the future has made people rethink the opportunities and choices of poor students.
In the interview, the Tsinghua student expressed his views on the relationship between academia and employment, believing that academia is a kind of beauty in Chinese, but in the real society, the measurement standards of academia and employment may not match. He believes that the current trend is that many jobs are replaced by artificial intelligence, which is a trend that is difficult to reverse. He emphasised the need for individuals to be proactive in acquiring new knowledge, communicating and learning from others, and taking the first step bravely. His words reveal deep thoughts about the future and a positive attitude towards personal development, which is inspiring and reflective.
Through the speech of this Tsinghua scholar, we should realize the importance of family education. Although parents may not be as professional and teaching skills as school teachers, the education they provide is unique and permeates every aspect of daily life. Parents' words and deeds, care and love play an irreplaceable role in shaping the personality and character of children. However, for poor students, their parents' educational ability may be limited, and they cannot provide their children with sufficient educational resources. Therefore, students from poor families need to be more independent to understand all kinds of information, actively expand their horizons, and make choices suitable for their own development.
In the real world, there may be differences in the measurement of academics and employment. Academics are wonderful and rich, but the job market is more in demand for practical skills. Therefore, individuals should take the initiative to acquire new knowledge, communicate and learn more with others, and be brave enough to take their first steps. With the changes of the times, we need to adapt to the needs of the times and continue to learn and grow in the wave of technological innovation.
To sum up, parents play an irreplaceable role in family education, and their educational ability and care are essential for the growth of children. However, students from poor backgrounds may need more effort and self-development to learn more information and choose a development path that suits them. When it comes to academic and employment measures, individuals need to actively adapt to the needs of the times and take the first step bravely. Through the reflection on family education and the summary of the speeches of the top students, we can better understand the importance of family education, and at the same time reflect on our own choices and efforts on the road of education and development.
