The gap between ideals and reality seems to be an insurmountable wall, blocking the road in the hearts of every parent and child. How many times have we heard parents say in a heartfelt way: study hard and work hard. However, these few simple words hide a huge pressure and invisible fetters.
In this era of "test-oriented education", grades are praised highly, and even a slight decline in academic performance will make parents anxious and anxious to use various means to "make up for classes" in order to fill the gaps in their children's knowledge. However, with the gradual popularization of the concept of quality education, more and more parents have begun to realize that their children's growth is not only the accumulation of grades, but also the inner happiness and healthy mentality.
"Happy education" sounds like a beautiful ideal, but it often becomes unattainable in reality. We have to ask: what is it that prevents children from growing up happily? Professor Peng Kaiping of Tsinghua University gives the answer: there is a serious asymmetry between ideals and skills in the education system. Parents always expect their children to live a happy life, but they focus too much on the ability to "make money" and ignore how to make children truly happy and happy.
In this society, too many people are forced to become "workers", running around and toiling in order to survive, but often lose the joy of life in the process of chasing material things. Parents' anxiety and stress will also be transmitted directly to their children, leaving them with a heavy burden at a young age, and losing the joy and worry they should have.
However, we can't simply blame parents, because the pressure they face is also a reflection of reality. In this competitive and challenging society, money often determines a person's quality of life and happiness. But even so, we can't ignore the right that every child should have to be happy and grow up healthy.
The so-called "happy education" is not to let children do willfully, but to let them find fun in learning and feel happiness in their growth. Parents need to pay more attention to their children's mental health, give them enough care and support, instead of blindly chasing high scores and rankings. We should respect each child's individuality and talents, so that they can thrive in joy.
Finally, let us call on parents to focus more on reducing the learning pressure of their students, so that they can learn and grow in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Because only in such an environment can children grow up happily and realize their ideals and pursuits.
