485 [Refresh the three views of parents]

The broadcast time of the "Dialogue" column is one hour, although it is a CCTV 2 program, but it often receives special attention, because the guests invited in each issue are very promising.

After Song Weiyang's episode of the program was broadcast, it quickly aroused heated discussions. It's not what he said earlier, but the content after that - a high school student sneaks into the scene to bring the rhythm.

The host has a process outline and will guide the topic, but there are still live audiences who don't play cards according to common sense. In this case, if it's nonsense, cut it directly, and if there's something to watch, then selectively keep it.

When the student's parents talked about their son's upbringing, a high school student couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly stood up through the microphone and said, "Hello Auntie, I feel sorry for your son, who has completely lost the joy of childhood and adolescence. Now the state advocates quality education, you are not quality education, you are very utilitarian examination-oriented education. If you keep going like this, your son will become a nerd!"

The student's parents immediately retorted: "I educate my children in the same way as Harvard girls, and this is quality education! You are too young to know the preciousness of your student years, and only reading is the only way out!"

"You're killing a child's free soul!" snapped back the high school student.

The parents of the students sneered, turned their heads and said: "Boss Song, you are a person who loves learning, you come to tell this child what it means to study hard, what it means to work hard, and what it means to achieve the future through education!"

Song Weiyang didn't bother to pay attention to it, and asked the host with a smile: "Can this section be skipped directly?"

The moderator said, "Yes, let's talk about ......"

"Why skip?" said the high school student angrily, "The current Chinese education model, which is to learn and take exams, is cramming and inhumane. As Han Han said in his article, now that we spend a lot of time studying mathematics, how many of them can be used after graduation? I think that learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and learning basic equations is enough. Students who don't like math can focus on other courses, and only those who like math should take more advanced courses. The college entrance examination should be divided into professional mathematics and general mathematics, so that students can choose their own according to the major they want to apply for! This parent, let me ask you, you should have left school for more than ten years, do you still remember the mathematics knowledge you studied in the second and third years of high school?"

"I ...... Of course I do!" said the student's parent.

The high school student immediately asked: "Then I'll test your knowledge points in the first year of high school, what is tangent? Don't you remember? Then I'll give you a hint, is the tangent cos, sin, or tan?"

"Yes......" The student's parent immediately changed the subject, "I just didn't read well, and now I'm just getting mixed up! If you don't study hard now, do you want to be like me in the future?"

The high school student retorted, "In this society, not everyone has to be a mathematician. Most people don't need this knowledge, so why waste their time, it's better to learn something else. As I said, if you are interested in science, you can choose advanced mathematics courses independently. And the kind that has no interest, no matter how much you learn, it will delay time!"

Yes, this show has been led astray by high school students.

The director really couldn't stand it, so he directly ordered the host: "Correct the topic!"

The host asked Song Weiyang with a smile: "Why don't you also talk about education?"

"Okay," Song Weiyang asked the parents of the students, "what do you think of education?"

The parents of the students said: "One is to impart knowledge, and the other is to cultivate virtue. ”

Song Weiyang asked the high school student again, "What about you?"

The high school student said, "I think education should be about people learning interesting and useful things, not cramming!"

Song Weiyang said: "I agree more with Einstein's point of view, forget everything you learned in school, and the rest is education." For example, Chinese cultivates reading and comprehension skills, and mathematics cultivates logical thinking. Even if you forget all the texts you memorized in middle school and don't remember all the math knowledge points after you step into the society, the abilities cultivated in Chinese and mathematics will accompany you throughout your life. The core of education is people, not knowledge points, which can be learned at any time, and the ability cultivation in childhood and adolescence is difficult to make up for in adulthood. ”

Dr. Lui applauded, "I couldn't agree more. ”

The high school student said, "Then does Mr. Song agree to the test-oriented education?"

"Can you find a better way?" Song Weiyang asked rhetorically, "As far as what you said, once you implement it, there will be endless troubles." Let's talk about Japan, the best universities in Japan are all national, and the competition is very fierce. The candidates of Ribenzen are divided into three categories, the first category is fresh graduates, the second category is former students, also known as ronin, and the third category is that the university is not ideal, and when he goes back to take the college entrance examination again, he is called a masked ronin again. If these three types of people want to be admitted to the ideal university, they must attend cram schools, otherwise they will not have the slightest chance. In Nibon, it is absolutely impossible for a student who has not attended a cram school to be admitted to a national university. ”

The parents of the students were very interested and asked, "Why? Is the school teacher not responsible?"

Song Weiyang said: "Because Japan has been engaged in quality education in recent years, as this classmate said, most people learn advanced mathematical knowledge is useless, so the school simply does not teach." Therefore, the classroom knowledge of Nichiben School is very simple, and the students go to participate in club activities after school very early. If you are interested in singing, you will learn and rehearse singing, and if you are interested in Go, you will go to other students to compete. ”

High school students are envious: "This educational model of Japanese benzene is very advanced!"

Song Weiyang said: "The problem is that universities do not need such students, and the difficulty of the Japanese college entrance examination is not lower than that of China." As a result, a Japanese student who wants to go to university must give up club activities and spend money to go to a private cram school for further study. A lot of the knowledge taught in cram schools is not available in school classrooms, but it is necessary for the college entrance examination. Don't you think there's a problem?"

"What's the problem?" asked the high school student.

Song Weiyang's tone was aggravated: "If China does the same, what will you do with China's 1 billion peasants? Now that many peasants have difficulty even paying their children's tuition, will you let them spend a lot of money to go to cram schools? By doing so, we will block the road for the majority of rural students to go on to higher education and the way for most rural children to turn over, and the social class will tend to solidify! A country with a fixed class will have no vitality for development, and whoever dares to do this in China will be a sinner of the Chinese nation!"

The high school student was speechless and said weakly, "That...... Why is it feasible to do that?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "The degree of urbanization is very high, and moreover, Japanese benzene is a capitalist society. The capitalists want class solidification, they only need a small number of people to receive higher education, and these people are the new generation of the elite of society. And most people, working in peace, belong to the perfect pyramid structure in the eyes of capitalists. ”

The parents of the students suddenly laughed and said: "Boss Song is reasonable, China can't do this, China should continue to carry out exam-oriented education in order to cultivate more talents like Harvard girls!"

Song Weiyang immediately poured cold water: "I said last year that Harvard girls are really nothing. With my grades of being a self-financed student at Fudan back then, as long as I learn English well, I will be given tens of thousands of yuan to operate, and I will get a full scholarship from Harvard in minutes. Because Chinese high school students in the 90s applied for Harvard, there was no one to compete. The Harvard girl succeeds not because she studies well, but because she participates in an exchange program between Chinese and American schools. As soon as she succeeded, there were more study abroad agencies this year, and the competition became more intense. If your son wants to replicate this model, he needs to be richer, more flexible, and more functional, and his academic performance will be secondary, and he only needs to have better scores. ”

The parents of the students were surprised: "Is it okay to have good grades?"

Song Weiyang said: "The relatively excellent grades are used to meet the basic criteria for admission to Harvard. As long as you cross this basic line, Harvard treats all students equally, and doesn't care if you have more or less. Especially for those who have full scores, Harvard controls the acceptance rate of students with full scores every year, and deliberately brushes down many students with perfect scores for this purpose. ”

The parents of the students hurriedly asked, "If you don't look at the scores, then how can they pick the students?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Find someone to write a letter of recommendation." In general, families who do not have a relationship background are most suitable for finding a high school principal to write a letter of recommendation. If you can find the principal of Tsinghua University to write a letter of recommendation, then your child's chances of being admitted to Harvard can increase by 10,000 times. If you're just looking for a high school principal, then I'm sorry, but your child won't be favored by Harvard. Unless, your child is really powerful, powerful to the point of genius, then you can find a sweeping aunt to write a letter of recommendation. ”

"Letters of recommendation are more important than academic performance?" the parents of the students were incredulous.

"Yes, letters of recommendation are very important," Song Weiyang said, "and there are skills in writing letters of recommendation, you can't just say how many awards you have won, and you will be the first in the grade since you were a child, which is useless, and Harvard does not approve of it." You have to lay out the facts, what volunteer activities you have participated in, what talents you have, and what you are talented. For example, if I don't take the college entrance examination and I know the president of Coca-Cola in Asia Pacific, then I will ask this president to write me a letter of recommendation. As long as I surpassed the passing mark at Harvard, I was 100 percent accepted. The Harvard girl must have found a very important recommender at that time. ”

The parents of the students were all wilted and muttered, "How can you rely on recommendations, isn't this going through the back door?"

"It's just going through the back door, all the famous schools in the United States can go through the back door," Song Weiyang said with a smile, "Do you have anything to do with going through the back door? If not, then you can try to apply for Harvard Summer School and let your child go to Harvard for a few weeks." Seize this opportunity to let your child have a good relationship with the Harvard professor, and maybe the Harvard professor will help the child write a letter of recommendation. In advance, you have to be rich, and it is very expensive to go to Harvard for summer school. ”

The parents of the students were completely refreshed and muttered: "Even if it depends on money and relationships, this famous school also goes through the back door." ”

Song Weiyang said: "You also want your own children to be able to get their hands on it, do you think that if you go to summer school, you will be favored by Harvard professors? For ordinary Chinese families, let their children participate in more public welfare activities and sports, master more talents and skills, compile more recommendation letters, and have particularly good grades, so they still have a little chance to study in a prestigious American school." ”

Two-thirds of the content of these discussions and education was cut off by the post-editing, but it still caused a sensation after the broadcast.

I don't know how many parents who want their son Jackie Chan to have their dreams shattered, at this time, the sales of "Harvard Girl" have exceeded one million, and countless parents who feel deceived after buying the book have written to scold the parents of Harvard girls.
