In this era where entertainment is paramount, serious educational topics are often ignored or entertained. On February 7, 2024, a high-profile incident occurred in a family in Xinyang, Henan Province. A father tries to push his child to finish his winter vacation homework, but the child's slack attitude causes his anger. However, his anger only brought more provocations and conflicts. The child's great-grandfather stepped in to protect the child, making the situation even more complicated. This event was recorded and spread through short **. However, the prevalence of this type of homeschooling poses a serious challenge for teachers, who may face unpredictable behaviors from their grandfathers. This article will analyze the reasons behind this phenomenon and discuss the dilemma of education today.
Nowadays, children are increasingly overprotected and spoiled by their families. Parents provide their children with the best material conditions, but ignore the importance of learning and the crucial role of cultivating good moral character. Parents see teachers as the root of education and are becoming more and more demanding of them. This distorted concept of education has led to a significant decline in the learning attitude and moral character of the student group.
In the compulsory education stage, the decline in students' learning attitude and degree of effort is particularly obvious. They are more focused on pleasure and entertainment, and lack interest and dedication to learning. This phenomenon is a trap of a materially affluent society, where children are overly pursuing short-term pleasures and vanity in pursuit of achievements, while neglecting the importance of hard learning and cultivating their own moral character.
Expansion In recent years, children have generally been influenced by the Internet and social **, they are addicted to mobile games, short** and social platforms, and the dilution of interest in learning is an inevitable result. In addition, in order to improve their children's competitiveness, many parents choose too many cram schools and training courses, which makes their children even more tired and bored. However, this kind of education method that focuses too much on grades ignores the importance of cultivating children's comprehensive quality and interests, which leads to the frequent occurrence of children's negative attitudes towards learning and moral problems.
Under the influence of this homeschooling atmosphere, teachers face great pressure and challenges. Not only do they need to teach knowledge, but they also need to deal with the questioning and criticism of parents. Parents believe that teachers should nurture their children into students with excellent grades and moral character, but neglect their own important responsibility for their children's education.
Teachers are under tremendous pressure to respond to parents' demands not only to teach knowledge, but also to take responsibility for moral and moral education. And once the children are criticized or questioned, the teachers' reputation, jobs and even the whole life may be threatened. This makes teachers dare not easily criticize and guide in education, which further aggravates students' learning slackness and moral problems.
Explain that in the Chinese education system, the authority and status of teachers are relatively low. They often face pressure and doubts from parents, students and even society, and their criticism and guidance are often opposed and resisted. This situation also makes teachers cautious about the education of students, and do not dare to give sufficient guidance and criticism.
The goal of education should be to develop students' all-round abilities and good moral character. However, in the current social environment, there is a huge conflict between this goal and reality.
Children's pursuit of short-term pleasure and pleasure, and excessive attention to the pursuit of grades, lead to a decrease in their interest and dedication to learning, which in turn leads to frequent moral problems. Parents focus on grades and competition, neglecting to cultivate children's ability to think independently and learn independently, which further exacerbates children's negative attitudes towards learning.
The dilemma of today's education is that family education emphasizes achievement, competition, and short-term benefits, while ignoring the essence of learning and the goal of cultivating students' all-round development. Teachers are under tremendous pressure and challenge, forced to take on the responsibility of overprotecting and spoiling children. Such an educational environment has led to a significant decline in students' learning attitudes and moral character. In order to change this predicament, the education department, schools and families need to work together to pay attention to cultivating students' interest in learning and comprehensive quality, and balance the relationship between grades and moral cultivation, so that education can return to the right track. At the same time, parents also need to review their own educational concepts and methods to provide children with a good learning environment and correct orientation. Only in this way can we cultivate talents with real comprehensive quality and promote the development of education.
