"Education is not to become a master", Zheng Qiang bluntly said the drawbacks, which resonated!
Studying is not a career", Zheng Qiang pointed out the shortcomings of society and expressed the hardships of ordinary people.
Only by growing in the midst of difficulties can we achieve the extraordinary. This phrase is often used by parents to motivate their children. Especially in the seventies and eighties of the last century,"A noble son from a poor family"It has become the common aspiration of almost every family with low social status.
As a result, some parents do not hesitate to bankrupt their families to provide for their children to go to school, while some elderly people are desperate because they cannot afford their children to go to college. After many years, this view has again aroused fierce debate.
Professor Zheng Qiang emphasized that education should not simply pursue individual success, but there are drawbacks in modern education methods. He said that the current education system has created a large number of them"Wise and selfish people", they only think about making money, they only think about changing their destiny.
Parents also tend to judge their children's learning by their academic performance, and children believe that schools are useful if they can convert knowledge directly into money.
He stressed that education is not just about becoming an elite in society, and we should not think that we can become rich or become leaders by studying hard. Physical education courses cultivate a healthy body, art courses cultivate emotions, and humanities courses cultivate culture.
Therefore, going to school is not only to take exams, continue your studies, or find a job, but also to make us more grounded and respect the rules.
Nowadays, whether at home or at school, people tend to compare their children's grades to their future career status and income. Some parents are especially inclined to indoctrinate their children"If you suffer hardship, you will become a superior person"thoughts.
Professor Zheng Qiang's teaching philosophy emphasizes that students should become real people with emotions and moral character, followed by professional knowledge and skills. This is the same as before"Educate people"The way of education coincides.
In the past, despite limited educational resources, most professors or professional teachers started by cultivating students' character. It is only when a student's character reaches a certain level that they can focus their attention on specific knowledge skills.
Many people agree with Professor Cheng that today's education is too utilitarian and lacks emotion. However, this view has also caused quite a bit of controversy. Some students and parents have different opinions about this.
Critics point out a lot of hard facts from the point of view of ordinary people. A typical counter-argument is that reading a book doesn't have to be an upper-class elite, but"People of high society"They tend to bully others.
Perhaps, the desire of students to change their social status through learning seems utilitarian, but in fact it is a last resort. If they come from the lowest strata of society and are treated with kindness and preference, I'm afraid no one will go down this path.
In the face of Zheng Qiang's lofty ideals, some graduates said frankly that this model can only wait until the problem of food and clothing is solved. Ordinary people still have to make a living, and college students are in a hurry"Get ahead", is it wrong to rush to change your social status?
Some netizens even quoted a classic saying:"No one dreams of taking out a loan to buy a house in their childhood"。However, how many aspiring young people's ideals have been stifled by 20 years of study and 30 years of mortgages? If not, as Hon Cheng Keung said, they should use their spare time to engage in physical and artistic activities to enrich their spiritual life. This feeling of powerlessness may only be truly experienced by people living in ordinary families.
The paradox of reality is that getting an education is equal to a high income, and the result is often disappointment. The comments of netizens reflect a lot of social realities, such as the young man who gave a speech in Hengzhong, some people think he is too much"Tasteful", see concentrated learning as a nobler act than cleaning up the aunt.
But is it all because of the exploitation of students? If we want to know why, we have to look back at the age of objectification and the age of people as tools.
Some students admit that there is nothing wrong with studying for a better life, and there is nothing good about it. What's more, this generation can still to"people"The identity of the university entered?
The paradox of reality is that many people are aware if they still hold on"Learn by doing"ideas, they are likely to be disappointed. The labor market is saturated, and it is not the skills of graduates who are needed to find a job, but cheap labor. As a result, there are not many jobs that are suitable for graduates.
With the development of society, many people have to find a regular job after graduation, and some people even work in jobs that do not necessarily require academic qualifications to survive. This will become more and more common.
Perhaps because of this, we should reflect on the educational significance of Cheng Qiang's words, perhaps this is also a kind of thing"Comfort"。After all, learn to become"people"It's too hard.
What do you think it means to learn?
